You're right. It's a good subject.

Nice one Trixie, looking better than the first already, it took me ages to get used to my new camera.

Hi Trixie, this is a bit flat, needs some levels and contrast adjustment, also I thnk you would be better at f/8 to give more DOF, the focus is on the Tulip in the top left so the front Tulip is not in focus. Though of course you may have deliberately chosen to compose this way.

Do you have photoshop? You can adjust levels etc with it.

But it is very nicely framed, you have an eye for composition and subject, the technical stuff will all come in time.

Thanks Jim, I have adjusted the photo tonight, and brightened it up and flipped it round, not as easy to use as the Pentax I-10 that I have been using, I did just throw these down and tried a photo, Im reading the manual in bed at night, trying to learn but I guess I will learn as I go along. Thanks Maria too, Cheers Trixie

If I may suggest you try to take the pictures with some different setting. Then you will see the results of them and you can choose the better of them.
