Few flowers from the garden

Never really tried much with Sigma 105mm macro that I have had for a few years. These aren't really macros, but taken some flowers with it on my K10d

I like #1, #3, and #4. I think the sigma 105 is the last lens I would part with

I agree with Stan. #2 suffers from a bit of burn out. If this is from a RAW file I am sure that could be recovered with a touch of highlight reduction. But the others - really good!

I do agree with the comments above in that these have been a little over-exposed. They could do with a boost in contrast too; the exposure would need to be lowered a bit to allow you to do this.

The other thing I would say is that when shooting flowers you need to do something a little different to make them stand out from the norm, like different angles, dramatic dark backgrounds etc. I will include one of my flower shots for comparison purposes only, as this one was taken with the same lens (Sigma 105mm DG EX Macro, superb lens BTW). Also, this one is a similar subject to your last two (Osteospermum).




Hope this is helpful.
