Thanks again for looking at my work. You are of the same opinion as my mentor on the daisies i.e. too much going on in the backgound. Nice thing about us students is that we keep working at photography. Yes this shot is 180 degrees. The comment about the top of this plant is bang on. I MUST take more time in framing my shots. I should have moved till the whole plant was backdropped by sand so I would not lose the top of it. Good eye! This Usefil site is exactly what I was looking for!
I agree with Heather about the crowding in this shot; my first reaction was the same. Also, the top of this lovely plant is somewhat lost in the grasses behind.
Regarding http://www.usefilm.com/showphoto.php?id=24079, it seems there is so much going on that picture as far as the vertical lines on the left, the expanse detracts from the implied subject i.e.the flowers. You appear to have gone from one extreme to another.
Thank you for your feedback, Heather. On the prairies of Manitoba, there is lots of sunshine. On a partly cloudy day, especially in our desert, the sun peeking through the clouds, produce many lighting differences. That is why the front has a different lighting effect in this shot. As for crowding, I welcome your feedback on a picture I posted on October 4th (Desert Flowers) A mentor told me not to show an extension of view behind the focus of your subject. What do you think? I really appreciate comments. That is why I am using this site, to get critique and points of view. You don't get better without practice. Thanks again, Heather. By the way I like your pictures.
Ok, heres my pennyworth... This seems to be crowding the subject weed I think it needs more space. I would have tried to get round further to the left, and taken a horizontal.
A strange thing here - looks like the front weed is being lit from a different direction than the others - spooky! There ya go - comment #1 H:) ps. nice colours
