DD, I think this is one of your best yet. I honestly cannot offer any constructive criticism. The comp, exposure, lighting, background, etc seem right on. This is one of your best macro shots IMHO. I would be proud to hang this on my wall or submit for DD's calendar.
Nice job,

Bob.


P.S., Thanks for the kind note on my website.

I see no issues with IQ there. Nicely done.

My thoughts exactly!

I know some of you aren't into the texture/overlay PS scene but since it was something like 103 outside yesterday, I thought I would do some tabletop photography indoors! Now I remember why I don't do this too often ...my speedlights hate me!! I used a black velvet background but thought I would spice the shots up some and practice my PS skills ...

Denise, these are great and your PP skills are great also. Not many people can do what you've done here!

[Jayson]

Funny you should mention the temperature and still life...that's what I did yesterday. Now, just need to remember to do this before any of the stuff is enjoyed.

Denise that's an awesome macro --- the framing and DOF are both perfect. I love the still life shots too. Jayson your third one is my favourite --- very creative.

This morning I went out again on the Icefields Parkway in Banff, hoping to see some more bears. I came across this guy, loping along the shoulder of the road, pausing every so often to chew on some bushes. The light was dim so I needed ISO 1600 as a minimum. I'm really looking forward to my new arrival to test the high-ISO capability (whenever it gets here). In the meantime the 1D3 did pretty well. The 500 f/4 II continues to impress me... the focus is always bang-on, and I haven't entered any micro adjustment.

[Jayson]

Thanks Jonathan. Your bears are awesome...good thing the 500 is there. I would be terrified to get out of the car!!!

Hi there DJ! Just saw the pics you posted, nice work! It was nice meeting you and your wife at the Bass Harbor Lighthouse and at Otter Cliffs. Great pics! I'm over on http://www.facebook.com/NadaMasPhotography
If you get a chance stop on over and we'll keep in touch. There is also a pic of us 3 shooting the lighthouse together.
Best Regards.
