Wow Both are very cool and excellant pics ~ you did good

Very nice Tina. They are beautiful...look like something you'd see on stationery or note cards....very pretty.

Very nice, love the 2nd shot most of all.

stunning

These are good Tina. The diagonal composition works well for these flowers.

Yeah...What Greg said!

Two very beautiful images here.

I've never seen either of those flowers look so good.
Great work, Tina!

Pup, you're back!! where have you been? I have been missing your flower photos.


a big thankyou very much everyone for your lovely comments

I like the Grevillea particularly.

Hey Tina,

Love both of these shots. You've made a common flower look uncommonly good by using good composition and post-processing. What REALLY makes these prize-winners is the fantastically coloured and smooth bokeh.

Well done.

Question: EXIF says you shot them using your 70-300 set at 300 and wide open. Any particular reason for those settings?

It was the lens i had on to start with, and i can stand back, and get really good bokeh. I tried the nifty fifty, but it just wasn't the same, too much background coming in.


thanks guys for your comments, much appreciated.

Awsome detail. Great colors.
Beautiful pics, really.

Tina,

First shot is very impressive - even like the bit of detail on the green leaf at the bottom.

Well done.
