Great shot! Very well done! I like it a lot.

I would say the white thing is the handle of the bag?

Great shot, Ken, I like it

Lol, thanks, walkeja.

I do shoot b&w pics myself though, and have done with these very same plants, but with the b&w shots I'm focusing more on shadows rather than the subjects creating them. I'll post some soon.

I think both shots are great. I can see what the others mean by their choice of the second shot, but the first for me is also great. The vignette on the right is a little strong and hides the reflection in the water which slightly unbalances the image. Really like them both though.

Thanks, PaulM. The pics from the second set are all from the same session. This hedge is in my back garden, I woke up one morning to all of this dew glistening on the hedge with a bright blue sky in the background and the sun shining through at a nice low angle, it was the perfect opportunity to get out there for half an hour. I'm really pleased with most of the shots.

Best,
-Kev

Thanks, HG. You are correct, I am using the 1.7 on the 50mm lens. I love the dof it creates. I would love to get more lenses and play around a lot more, I really enjoy being creative with my photography.

Best,
-Kev

Hello all,

Here are more of my plant pics, but this time no pink, just green.

Thanks, Tim. I really seem to be favouring compositions that have a little more to them, I'm trying to push myself creatively with my shots. If you would like to see it bigger, here is the link to the shot on my flickr page:

no3 bigger

All the best,
-Kev

Really nice images these, and what an awesome looking place to visit

That shot cropped certainly works much better, it frames the scenery nicely.

1 and 2 are my favourite I think, with 8 and 9 a close second, the composition in these shots is really good.
