Sculpture in Nature

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. 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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Sculpture in Nature

Postby sirhc55 on Sat Mar 26, 2005 4:20 pm

I was amazed by the colours in this pic. The plant looks as if it is crying and there is even a little insect, if you can find it.

Sigma 105mm f/8 at 1/750th sec iso 200.

You may pull me apart but leave the plant alone 8)

It most probably isn't on topic, but with magnificent flora like these, together with Darb's photos from Gt Ocean Rd, how can there NOT be a Creator? There has to be an intelligent designer for this.

Wow, Chris. The first one is great for color, but this one is sublime. I really like the composition of this one. Nicely done. :D

Love both photos Chris... Your local florist must do well out of you :lol:

I think you've even got a little strand of spider web happening in the bottom right of the first photo...

Chris, beautiful work, I agree that the colours are magnificent, and you have captured them with great skill.

Quite easily Max, but we all need to believe whatever makes us comfortable.

Thanks all - John this flower is in my front garden and yes, there is a spider strand and if you look carefully at the end of the strand there is a body poking out from under the leaf :D

Are you sure it's a strezlekia(?) and not a TRIFFID????
It's amazing what we see in the garden.

Greg, Greg, Greg, believing in a Creator Designer actually makes me feel uncomfortable at times, but I believe in the need to follow logic eg utterly astounding complexity requires astounding creative genius, not luck or chance. I don't believe in chance but in purpose and reason.
