Photographers Comments
Took this over at my Farthers today, as he has just brought the Olmpus E510 with the twin lens kit, so we were both shooting all the flowers.

I have attached a few more at the bottom

You have a farther!??....I had one, once.
That is so cool that you and dad can have a shoot-off, in a healthy sort of way. You will look back on that with the fondest of memories.

The bleeding hearts is a great rendition...luvit!! Have to say, that with this flower, I'm finding the light flat; you did get a shaft of light at your feet but i'm finding it very distracting. I like the pyramid shape and how you have brought out the color structure of the flowers...though I find myself feeling cheated about not seeing the centers in stronger focus.

Hi Fay,
I see what you mean about the shaft of light. My feet aren't that big, it's a rock.. LoL. I can sort that out in photoshop. I was mainly concentrating on getting the deep colour.
Thanks for stopping to take a look and commenting, very much appreciated.
All the best
Paul
