2nd Attempt to smell the Roses!

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.

G'day,
Beautiful image, first thing that caught my eye was the second rose though, not the first :? I like the way there's more than initially meets the eye, but wondering whether the DOF was meant be fairly deep or short? Had a sticky at the EXIF and F5? Just curious what determined the aperture... Beautiful colour... and love the soft OOF rose in the background, nicely framed and worked out, just wondering if there's a smidge more room for the top (whether it's cropped etc.?) the rose looks cut-off a bit...

Just ramblings... :)

Thank you for your comments.Reason for f5 to get the whole rose and stem in focus.My second shot was f1.8 and all of the rose and stem were not in focus,very short DOF.

I agree - alittle more room at the top would have helped this image. Still - its very nice. Great flowers. Look out for bees when smelling them!
