Old Photographic Sanctuary

lovely orange blooms

The orange flowers are beautiful. The first one looks more like a water-color painting. I love that too. :-)

I don't like the brick wall on the modified version. Original one could have been better with shallower DOF.

Nice try, both.

What camera do you use, Natasha?

hiba: it does doesn't it. hehe :P

jnarin: thanks! and how come you don't have a blog? no fair :S

mohib: (sigh*) i try, i honestly try. and what's DOF? hehe :P. i use an Olympus C-740. (which will be put out of it's misery, if only i could get my hands on a few of them benjamin franklins* :D)

Good attempt to salvage an otherwise ordinary image.

Disproportionately increased number of buds than flowers alters the natural balance and the brick wall in the background forces the scene into an urban setting. Overall the altered image looks busy and lacks a focal point.

Keep on experimenting, you are on the right track.

I do have a blog. Click here. It's just that the snaps that I take suck (big time!). I've just started experimenting. :-)

@ natasha

DOF is depth of field, there are a lot of tutorials available on the net on the subject. Please google it.

You know what, you have *that* eye for photography, just need to hone up your skills.

And, Olympus C-740 is a pretty decent camera.

I love your new profile pic, did you take it yourself?

Best,
Mohib
