I like the idea of this, but I think the couple is too far away from the bike racks(?) to work. To me, the image is more about the pattern of the paving stones than anything else.

I like the dramatic contrast in the first one. If you can selectively add noise, can you selectively remove it?
You know, the more I look at it, the more I think you could crop out the dark clouds at the top - they seem to weigh the picture down.

Harmless. And beautiful.

Thanks for the comments and tips, I would've never guessed f8-f16 for closeup.
BTW, those garden spiders are cool creatures -- about 2 inches (sorry not in centimetREs), always sew in a zigzag in their web, and when something lands in the web the spider will bounce it like a trampoline to further ensnare its prey.

I went to the Memphis Zoo yesterday with a local photo group, wanting to see what the limitations of my kit lens are. It was frustrating. Until I entered the butterfly enclosure where it fared much better. Any tips on getting the most out of this lens?

55mm, f5.6, 1/250 sec
50mm, f6.7, 1/250 sec

I like all of them very much, but particularly the ones in color and where she's smiling. The lighting and colors are natural, which is my favorite for portraits. I think you've brought out her beauty very well, great job.
