Aloe Flower, side view
by Stephanie Weisman
Shot with a Nikon D3000, 60 mm lens, shutter speed 1/125, aperture f/3.5.
Something about the gracefulness of these flowers really caught my eye. I was hoping to convey that in this shot.
I welcome critical feedback on this shot. I am working on deepening my understanding of how to capture a good shot in the moment one sees the photographic opportunity. I do not alter any of my shots once they are taken. My reason for photographing is the realization of the elusive perfect shot, one which captures archetypal imagery that speaks to many.
Thanks so much for any feedback!

9 commentsI like the color in this image and the diagonally receding verticals. I don't recall commenting on one of your images before. So welcome to the gallery. I'm looking forward to seeing the images you produce in your search. Don't know if my tastes are suitably archetypal but I like this image.

The subject almost looks as though it were painted.
Were you using a tripod? Was there wind? Both are factors to be taken into consideration as you shoot.

The colors are all complementary.
I do not currently have a tripod, but am realizing that I need one to shoot the kind of macro shots I like and maintain image clarity.
I like this soft painterly mood with receding blooms arranged in a diagonal. You obviously have good eyes for composition. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
