They turned out wonderfully! All are beautiful, but #2 and #3 really stick out to me.

2 and 3 for me Cork...nice perspectives, #1 would have done it for me, except for the blur top side..but they are beauties.

I really like 2.
4, is on my list of liking if it was completely in focus. Looks like it has a soft focus.

Many thanks for the kind and appreciative comments. I wish that I could take more credit for them but I was literally shooting blind. My only input was setting the manual exposure then chimping and switching the focus points so that I could get anywhere near what I envisaged. The hardest part was remembering where the camera was previously placed and wrestling with the cable release. In response to the focus question on the last shot, I’ve posted a wider shot taken at f8 @ 1/125.

I love the Optical Flare in the Third one.

I agree, the subtle flare on #3 really does something to that photo. What a great set, very inspiring.

Another fan of #3. The flare adds a lot to the picture but doesn't take away from the rest of the picture. Also, really like the shadowing that the pedals cast on each other.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments.

These are wonderful! I like 2 and 4 in the first set but I especially like the last one that you added

Thank you so much for the above.

#3 is really nice!

Love them all! Great execution in 1-3 as well as 4 although the focus is a bit off. The out of focus flower in the top left frame of 1 distracts just a little bit, but doesn't disable the photo, and I love the dof. 2 is a very nice, crisp shot that is plain, but perfectly plain, absolutely excellent. 3 is one of those shots that seems like a gallery maker, I hope you're extremely proud of it, because it's incredible!

Great shots and can't wait to see more from you!
