Bix Pix recent macros inspired me to hit the garden this morning to get some shots of the Bird of Paradise, something I have been going to do for the last twelve months. Thanks Bernie for the motivation.

Here are a couple. These were shot through dappled light this morning with higher iso to try and get some dof, then a breeze started blowing. aaarrrrrh. Give me some feedback especially on the noise.
Thanks





I have a narrow bit of wall in my office were this would hang nicely.


A couple more in this gallery if you are interested. http://craigvtr.smugmug.com/Flowers

#3 is as good a flower image as i have seen anywhere, anytime. the composition is original and the colours are spectacular. well done mate, you should be very proud of that.

#1 Masterful
#2 Masterful
#3 Masterful
#4 Masterful

What else can I say

#2 has got me.

Composition is spot on. Colours are brilliant. Sharp as a tack.

Cool,
If you want to reduce the noise, especially wth darker backgrounds, the blur tool in ps or other software works a treat.

Very interesting and very attractive! Keep up the good work mate!

Holy carp! The 2# is masterful!! we are not worthy....

A very nice series of images! The third one is a favorite for me, this would be ideal laminated and used as a bookmark! the image, I think, really would lend itself to this kind of application.

1 Ooh
2 Ooh
3 OOH YEH real nice
4 Ooh

Thanks guys you have encouraged me to print up the narrow crop.

I might just investigate the bookmark idea as well. Biggerry, thank you.

I like them all.

The first one suffers from a little too much contrast.

The composition of the second one is fantastic but the image suffers from the noise as you mentioned.

I especially like the 3rd one and agree it would make a great bookmark.

For me, the 4th is the weakest of them. I find the large unsharp areas a bit distracting.
