Been at the flowers again!

I know it bores a lot of folk but I can't seem to help myself - so here are 3 I took yesterday, all with the K7 and the Sigma 105 macro.

All have been Jackied in CS3 which may or may not be liked but your opinion is hoped for and welcome.

1/ 1/800 @ f16 - ISO 400 & fill flash taken indoors

2/ 1/800 @ f10 - ISO 400 & fill flash taken indoors - tried to use the second bloom as a sort of reflection but did not quite make it work.

3/ 1/300 @ f25 - ISO 200 no flash. The miniature Chrysanthemum taken outside I tried to take the shot across the blooms to give the impression they are floating on water, not sure if I have achieved this as I know what I wanted so that is what I am seeing.

#2 is eye catching, it looks as though the front is a repetition of the rear.

Nice

I agree with HG, two has got something compositionally. No. 3 is the weakest, IMHO as my eye has nowhere to go, the image lacks a focal point.

I am fond of flower photos (although I mainly shoot wild ones) so please keep posting. After all, we get more than enough bugs!

Best wishes, Kris.

I find the first one very striking.

My thoughts exactly.
