This was taken in our greenhouse here on campus. I didn't know how well the lighting would hit the hairs on it until after I took it. I love how you can just feel the texture of it.

i can feel the softness, nice focus on the subject, very effective shallow dof.

Beautiful color. Clear and sharp. The brown patches near the upper right are a bit distracting though.

I've never seen a furry plant before. I love the abundance of green and the good use of DOF.

Nice delicate texture. Well captured. Personnally would prefer a bit more DOF. -9

I like this but would have moved the plant off center. That aside, this worrks well with nice colors, and good focus.

superb texture - one of the better ones seen so far. think i would position the leaf a bit more to the left rather than dead centre. but full marks for a good sharps shot. 8

All around great shot.

Nice use of DOF, good exposure and color. Composition is a tad to centered (in my opinion). Shows texture nicely. Good luck.

+ Excellent capture of texture; I can almost feel it.
- Composition could be improved (perhaps a different POV?). DOF could be shallower to bring more attention to the plant and less to its surroundings.

one of the best

nice found my self looking for the zoom button to try and take a closer look very sharp shot.

great capture for the theme. well exposed and good color. the cropping is poor, though, as th bottom leaf is cut off awkwardly. I would have preferred either to see more of it or to crop in tighter to focus on the inner leaves.

Beautifully done - real fine detail as is essential in my view for this challenge. Great tones, great subtlety to the moment of light you've chosen. Perhaps a touch centred in photographic terms - I would have placed it further to the left, so that the eye could wander into the distnace of the bank and return to the plant. Serene colours.

I'm back to comment. The DOF and lighting is great, and of course, the texture is beautiful and detailed in this photo. Great job...

Looks like I could reach out and touch it...Very nice texture, excellent focus and brilliant color. Nice job.

Now that's texture. Excellent exposure, good composition. Very nice.

Nice shot, it makes me want to touch it.

Fuzzy indeed. I think this is a wonderful texture shot. The focus and DOF work well with the lighting to highlight the texture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/18/2004 04:52:31 AM
Yes nice texture. I'd suggest you simply the composition. Areas ouside the plant are busy and somewhat distracting particularly on the top right. I feel a tighter frame would still give sense of location yet it would simplify composition.

Great texture, well captured 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.

well focussed, good colour, slightly boring composition, would benefit from a tighter crop on the interesting but (too much background)
