C&C On Desktop Wallpapers

[BogdanD]

Hey Shalom24,

I have to say that I love the last picture. The contrast of the flower and the background, the purple in the middle, and the spot-on centering are great.
Now, this is a C&C, so time for my two cents [] whatever they may be worth. The first things I noticed were that I didn't get a clear subject (window?) out of the second shot, and the third one was sharp on the flower, but a little blurry on the bee. But that's just me, I'm really picky- I have only 3 pictures I really like from my vacation where I took 2500.

Thanks for the comments, BogdanD! I must say as well, that last picture is by far my favorite photo from that shoot.


And I am very grateful to hear your comments about the other two. About the second one, I kinda felt like something was just a tad bit off.. I couldn't seem to put words to the 'problem' myself; butI believe you nailed it right on. []I wish I knew what I was doing there a little bit more and maybe I could've fixed it. Oh well, next time.


And the flower & bee shot: unfortunately, I too realized once I got to reviewing it on my monitor, that yes the bee wasn't in focus.. [] Too bad I didn't know about it then (but then again, I can't really see too much with the 20D's screen/resolution size). For whatever it's worth, I think the problem lay with in my focus method for that shot; I used the 'center-weighted' auto focus; but I believe I only metered the flower. So.. again, next time..


Thanks again for the comments! I'm very happy to finally have some critiques! []Thanks guys!

Hey and welcome to the forums. Hope you are enjoying yourself here. I have enjoyed the critiques and encouragements on this website.


Anyway. I like your shots. The last two are may favorites. Since you mentioned it, the idea of a wallpaper makes me think that the last two images are to high contrast. Most that I have seen are fairly flat in terms of contrast and different colors. They are generally heavily one tone and lower in contrast. Just my thought.
