Some macro for your viewing "pleasure"...

Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Very nice set of images! :up:

That first one is awesome, the 'blooms' (or whatever they are technically referred to) are excellent, was this deliberate? (just say yes and I will be very impressed :up: ) The lavendar stems by themselves would have been a bit bland but you have jazzed it up nicely with some great creativity!

The bee's are nice, sharp and extra interest by where they are placed in the frame, the last one I like but is just missing that key subject, maybe the appropriately placed bee? But the colours are very nice here! :up:

The first 3 are great but the bees win ! I do like shots with lens flare that add to the picture and the first one does that well.

The last one needs a slight greater portion to be in focus to draw you to it a bit more.

thanks mate. and yes...it was intentional !! lol

i dont know if anyone has tried to duplicate flare but its freakin' impossible. i took around 20-25 shots from the same place within the space of maybe a minute and they all looked different with those circle thingy s in different spots.

agree with the comments on the last one. i thought the shadows in the foreground and colour in the background may be able to pull it off, but a more solid point of interest is needed. thanks for taking the time to offer suggestions.
