Pollen at the Golf...

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.

Pollen at the Golf...

Postby leek on Mon May 16, 2005 1:21 am

I took this quickly handheld with the 105mm while supposedly taking score at the adventure-golf at Fox Studios...

Nice and close, at the request of Deb...

DOF is not very good as I didn't have my flash and only used F18. Even so, I'm not sure that I entirely understand the focus on this macro shot... ???
The pollen on the anther in the middle seems to be out of focus, while the one behind it (on its right) and the one in front (far left) seem to be in focus... :?:

As usual, click for more pic...
Cheers, John

Shameful bump...

I didn't get any reaction to this... I'd love to hear people's explanations for why the anther in the middle is out of focus and those in front and behind are in focus... I'm confused...

And apart from that... I quite like the pic...
Cheers, John

Maybe it only appears to be in the middle, but is actually bent over and behind :?:

I have no idea. But the thing looks like a cross between an oyster and a plant.
