What I said was as personal an opinion as the picture is to you! You present a picture
for evaluation and critique. I tried to respond to the different elements of the shot,
assessing what are, in my opinion, the good aspect and the no so good in what I see.
In this, I put all my knowledge and experience at cooking an answer that will consider
the fact that you are not yet an advanced shooter but nevertheless taking the time to
share and, may be, looking for advice.
I did my best at attracting your attention to details that would improve your shot and not
to submerge you with thecnicals that would bore you to death and would be out of scope
in anyway!
To clarify my previous post:
The subject, the hanging flower, is rich in tones and details. Having a rather neutral back-
ground will bring up these details and tones. As far as the focusing goes, this has nothing
to do with your bokeh strategy but the fact that your flower is big and thus requires a
death of field that is not reflected in your shot.
Conclusion.
In no way should you ever consider any critique and/or evaluation for more than what it is:
— someone else's personal view on your very personal photograph. Some more articulated
than others! Here, even beginners have a chance to express their opinions …everybody has!
You take what you like and leave the rest without any fear of offence or disrespect.
We all share the same passion…
