Dogwoods on Golf Course

NICE!!
I am still wondering about the "tilt", is it an optical illusion or not?
Anyway very nice work! The way the dogwood goes from light to dark also adds to a appealing natural frame to me.

Thanks! Usually not a fan of black and white, but if I can get time I will try that.
BTW, NO ONE LIKED THE ICED ENCASED if they were moving about! Very bad time for driving!:) Having said that, I like that sometimes God sees fit to do things like this to force us to slow down and just look at His great creation and how He can just "stop" us in our tracks!
Thanks again!!

Originally posted by Ja-9: ok, here are my impressions, a little dark in the exposure (are you using RAW?) and your flower is so very "centered"...off set it just a little and it will have more appeal (IMO)

Hey thanks for any and all comments! Not using RAW.
I am fairly new on this site so still learning how to present shots (that's why I'm here!). I agree with dark, and also a little soft on above comment, I had to center it as there was nothing but distractions around it and I didn't want to pick it.
Thanks again for any and all comments!!

I was just thinking you have to be very lucky or patient to get such crisp foliage and nice water effect.
very pretty and well done! I agree with dtremain!

Sandy,
See this is why you NEVER let women loose for over 5 minutes!! Probably right after this there were all kinds of problems cut loose in the entire Austin area!!.........:)

Beautiful! Thanks for the explanation too!
Very ethereal feel to it with the waves just sort of fading into space as it were.

Aphid - The Gardener's Enemy

The two contrasting colors of yellow and green really make this an even greater shot. Your detail and the DOF giving emphasis to the cricket and some of the flower is also very nice. The blurred part actually forces you to the proper place of focus. I love it!

Get your glasses checked, ump!! He was out by a mile!

The ump bent down like that really adds a lot in this great situation. So glad you gave the details, I would have loved to have been there for this take!!
Great creativity and shots!!
