Reza, this is very pretty, but I wonder why you usded an aperture of F11. When taking pictures in the dark without flash, try using a f4.0 or 5.6 and try using a higer ISO, 400 or 500, maybe even 800. It is digital change some of your settings and use what works best. Even though it is night, there is still light in this shot, the moon & white clouds should have some detail.
Regards,
Carla

Very interstesting work here. I notice your comment, UseFilm, No Digital For Me. I was stuck on film for some time and recently changed, have you considered? It is much easier if you are going to manipulate the photo. In any event, you do some very nice work.

This is a great abstract. Use of DOF is great and really makes this flower pop! The photoshop work is very enjoyable.

Great concept, but the lower & right side of the flower are pixelated. Did you push this too far some how?

Bryan, you have done a wonderful job of displaying the height. I feel as if I am on a cliff while looking at this photo. Beautiful shot.

Wonderful color nature brings us. The water on this flower looks great. I would have rather the dried pedals be clipped back out of view, however, nice shot.

James, I enjoyed the daffodil with the water drops. I feel it adds life to flowers when you add a little water. The blue background looks great.
Thank you for you recent visit to Al2, your comments are appreciated.

Funny comments here. I love these chili's, wish I had them as a joke to my mother. I recently threw her real chili's in the trash because they were dusty and she caused a big stink. So I finally found some ceramic ones and replaced them in order to redeem myself. Balloon chili would probably put me right back where I was...in trouble again

Thank you for your comments Matej, they are greatly appreciated. The point I was making in the comment about the crop, was that it is what it is...I could only go tighter. The light appears to be another window. There is a solid wall with a window behind him. I have another shot without him standing there. It did kind of stand out, so I cloned in some of the lighter colors from the garage door. Oh, thank you for mentioning your choice of color or B&W. Please let me know what you think of the repost.
Thank you.

I like this natural photo Ipek, I just wonder why you didn't center the lady more into the frame of the photo. I like the fact that she is looking off into the distance. Well done.

Thank you Paul, what I will do with the frame not use it on the actual image, but find mat-board in this color and use that as a 1/4 inch boarder, with a larger mat probably in black. Thank you so much for your input. I am working on the desaturation now, I would like a males perspective as I do want him to be comfortable witht the photo, it is for his shop - customer area.

Ok...this has bugged me long enough. I thought the dog looked so funny in the silly lampshad I never did anything to this picture. I used a flash, but not all the light made it inside the hood, so I am posting an image with some adjustments made (levels & curves).
