Description Wasn't even sure if I wanted to upload this, so I didn't when I uploaded the other LGS photos I had looked at so far...
...but I was persuaded to. So here it is. Something simple. ^_^

This was taken at the Landesgartenschau 2012 (of the state Baden-WΓΌrttemberg) in Nagold.

I like the simple, soft delicacy. ^.^

More of the Landesgartenschau to come.



Equipment: Olympus E-510; 14-54mm zuiko lens

In my opinion the photograph looks nice and appears to be well exposed. The focus on the subject of the photograph appears to be just a little soft to me. I do not know if that was intentional and was done during post processing for artistic effect or if you just did not get your focus on the lens finely tuned before taking the shot. Either way for me personally I would like to see it be slightly sharper.

I love that you insured to use the correct f/stop and achieved a wonderful amount of bokeh in the photograph so that attention is drawn to the subject and the person viewing your work is not distracted by details in the background. I also love the soft colors created by the bokeh that compliment the subject. Overall the the image is a nice photograph of a flower, I would just work on increasing the sharpness of the subject in the future as I feel it would add to the interesting features of the subject you are photographing.

Good work and Kudos on an interesting work.

Vision:
Love the use of a blurred background! And the colour scheme is amazing yet enchanted! Its also a very lovely flower to take a snap of, so well done e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> Love the use of writing too!

Originaity:
Have seen similar works many times before, BUT this image has a much nicer effect, and is more crisp. Also the writing made it a bit more original.

Technique:
Very good! Photos taken like this (blurred background) either are gorgeous like this, or horrible and fuzzy! Luckily yours was great! The only negative is that bokeh is visible, but all blurred. If you can in future shots, try and make the background blurred without bokeh or with clear, crisp bokeh e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>

Impact:
Very good! Thats why I pressed the icon to critique this! The image is clear, and the colour scheme is my favourite bit!

Well, I'll be travelling through the USA for most of September, so I probably won't have the chance to upload anything then, buuut afterwards I'm sure I'll have lots of new photos to share (and I still have lots of older photo shoots lying around...time, I need more time XD)
...but in case I disappoint, I'll guess I'll better train to run faster
so you won't catch me

Its more compliments than critism though Its so perfect I could hardly find anything for you to improve on!

Oh, I was aware, thank you so much! And while I am naturally flattered by compliments, criticism is what makes us grow and improve
