Hey Mary Sue,
I can?t help you if I don?t know what shutter speed, f/stop, or ISO you used, but I can guess. I figure you shot at 1/60, or below @ 5.6, with ISO 100. You really needed 1/125, or faster with this lens. Other wise use a faster lens, or faster ISO? You really need your 2.8 lens for this shot?
With the 2.8 you could have blurred the background very well, while maintaining a faster shutter speed to freeze the flower in the wind @ 1/125, or 1/60. Do not forget you can use shutter speeds in between 125-60 since your camera is digital? Heck a shutter speed of 80, or 90 might have proven to be a superb choice in this case?
My Best,
Jr. Martin

Hey Mary Sue,
This is not a bad capture at all, just a little soft. I can shoot at 60, or 125 easy with a 200mm focal length using a 35mm Camera... But not a digital...
Just remember that your shooting digital, so a 200mm X 1.6 equals 320mm in a 135 format. Nobody I know can shoot at 1/60 with a 320mm focal length without a tripod and it not being a little soft, even with image stabilization turned on... Also something I have learned is the image stabilization only works with vertical movement, so you can pan with your tripod horizontal and still get the desired effect...
A 1/125 shutter speed would have done it, but @ 200mm on this lens you were all the way down to 5.6. In conclusion your ISO could have been set to
400 and you could have got a 1/125 shutter with proper exposure, I think... (lol)
I always forget that I can change the ISO, since this is my 1st digital, but with that said I think digital is much more forgiving than film when it comes to ISO settings. Personally I hardly ever shoot with anything above ISO 125 while using film...
I'm still learning, so please take my advice with a grain of salt... (lol)
My Best,
Jr. Martin

Hey Mary Sue,
I love this lovely capture my friend. I hear everyone talking about sepia, but I don't know how to achive it. Is there a button to click, or is it just a yellow and brown hue thing?
My Best,

hi MS
Kim might be right about using yellow instead of white, but at the same time, the white becomes a kind of "subject" as it were. The mind tries to make something of it. I for example have turned it into a silver-wrapped Hershey's chocolate kiss!

Very nice, Mary Sue!
Simply Perfect landscape photo. Great composition and nice colors. Good sense of depth in this picture.
I would like some snow on the left mountain, but as a photographer you can't do anything about it. - Ask mother nature next time

Excellent landscape picture, Mary Sue!
When I look at this picture it feels like 17th century or something like that.
This composition is good, but I think John Barclay's crop makes the picture more interesting.
Very well done!

Wow! Mary Sue, what an awesome photograph!! I don't know if you could have packed any more dramatic elements into a single frame if you tried - the old, weatherbeaten barn, the craggy, snowcapped mountains, the brooding clouds, just wonderful! The sepia toning is really an excellent choice here. I like John's crop a lot, too.
This one goes into my favorites!
p.s. Thanks for your great comments on mine - a great welcome back!

Thanks for your crop, which is much stronger than my own composition. Tim (earlier comment) agrees with you, and so do I!
I should have sat with that image a while before posting. It didn't feel right to me, but I was so over-focused on the gradient technique I let the composition slip.
Thank you so much for showing me how it should look!
And...getting ready to go look at your new post!

Mary Sue,
While I do like this image and its tone, I'm struggling with the placement of the big barn. I think i would like it better if the left most structure were not included and the big barn started in the lower left corner and then the eye would travel from there througout the entire frame with the fence line... man that was a run on sentance! See crop attached.

Hi Mary Sue, Wow. That was my first reaction... And, the more I view the more I like... The natural blending of colors and fields is just wonderful. It is a goal of mine to get a impressionistic, painterly look in my work (well for some shots). And, you have rendered art in this one... Great idea - well captured. Cheers! Sam
