Another one from my "color above everything" period. Rather naive considering the rest of the disciplines like composition, or DoF, I guess, I'd be glad for any comment.
Hi Olga Melissa, and thanks a lot for the nice message and the interest! (And not so many kisses, I'm still unshaved and emit the smell of smoke and whisky from last night! ;-))
I sometimes downsize images but I don't magnify them above their available resolution. But it's very nice that you ask about sharpness since indeed it's simply not sharply focused except of the center where focus is a bit better. The whole series of these flowers is from my phase of absolute color addiction some years ago. While focusing for this one I just noticed that the lighter spots of yellow had a better color to me when I went considerably out of focus for the most part of it, perhaps because of the special angle/direction/reflection of light in this case. And so I followed my color obsession from that time and used quite a wide aperture for mimimum DoF and as many of the "yellow hot spots" as possible.
Hello Nick!I think this photo has been magnified ?It lost some of the clarity you are used to giving us, just a friendly comment though, kisses, kisses and lots of flowers. ps(I am happy today)Olga.
