Day 1

Ok, so first day. I'll start easy and hopefully get more technical/better as the days go on!


A lavender stalk in my garden

  1. I like the simplicity of your composition. The backlighting works very well on the stem below the back fence and lets the flower seem to be in almost full silhouette. I wish the flower were in slightly sharper focus though (but the stem's details are wonderful).

  2. I agree with buff, I think a little fill flash would have done wonders on this!

  3. The plant looks huge from your viewpoint.

  5. A lovely simple composition but I also agree that the colour on the flower is not as deep as it could be to give it full impact. This is an interesting theme and a great start to your month! Well done!

  9. The simplicity is really good but I'd like just a little bit more color. I look forward to what comes next.

  10. Simple and pretty :) I especially like the bokeh dots on the lower right corner.

  11. I think it looks a bit lonely too... It's sort of half way between a silhouette and not, and I think it needs to be more one way or the other - either a little bit more colour, or a little bit less.. :)
    But it's a lovely shot nonetheless! I am looking forward to how else you can interpret your theme!
