Comments on Exhibit Photos, Please

Our photo club hangs its annual exhibit on Oct. 4th. Any comments on these images which I plan to include? I will only post 4 of them for now.


Many thanks in advance!

Jean

Hi Jean,

I think 2 to 4 would be great additions to the exhibit, "It's Too Darned Hot" is too darned good! IMHO, the flower is a nice shot too, but not up to par.

Regards,

Ruben

Jean,

I have taken the liberty of making a sepia version of your flower for your consideration. Here the composition used textures and brightness.




Just another idea for you. No doubt you have plenty of other of these flower pics, so perhaps one of then might work better for you either in color or in monochrome or sepia, fro example.

Love that 2nd one, so melancholy!

2 is great! The composition is perfect, and I didn't notice the steam until I read the title. Great color rendition too.

The first one I don't care for so much because part of the flower is cut off.

#2 and 3 are excellent!

If you want to do flowers or any close up work really well, look into focus stacking.

My apologies to all

Please forgive me for not getting back here before now. Just as soon as I posted these, my modem died, the exhibit got hung, the opening happened -- and so did life.

Ruben, thanks for your honesty on the flower shot as well as your kind words about the lobster shot.

Asher, I tired to do a B/W version of the morning glory after the fact, but had enough common sense not to include it in the show in either version.

Melancholy, huh, Ben? I missed that but couldn't not see it once you said it!

Bob, thank you for your glowing comments on the lobster shot.

Tracy, I never even thought about focus stacking as I am still in the beginning stages of learning to shoot close ups -- so thank you. I have, at least, read about how to do it and will give it a try soon.

Thanks to one and all!
Jean
