Dahlia Abstract

This is a photo that I find very intriguing. Several people liked this but I am not quite sure this holds much interest. I'll leave it to you to judge.

ND300s, AFS 60mm F/2.8 Micronikkor @ F/5.6, 1/400 Sec, ISO200, Daylight with Diffuser and Handheld.

All thoughts are welcome.

Your flower abstracts are stunning and this is no exception. Wonderful lines, colors and flow.

Ram: I like this a lot. The focus on the petal edge is brilliant and I really like its movement through the frame. Terrific shot.>=))>

Ram, i like this a lot. Not only like, practicing to take a similar shot. Loved the color and lines taking me across the frame very pleasantly.

Ram, this is very intriguing piece of eye candy. The colour way is just beautiful. From a longer term interest point of view the right side of the image offers more interest than the left side to me.

Ram this is beautiful and it certainly holds my interest. Wonderful movement through the frame and I really like how the twists of the center elements balance each other in the frame. I don't get by here often any more but I see your exquisite eye and talents for compelling floral images hasn't diminished.

Hmmm. I thought I commented on this previously, but I see there must have been technical difficulties. Anyway, I think this abstract works extremely well. Terrific lines and color. Expertly done.

I really like the sharp focus on the edge and how it twists through the frame. It's a fine image, but the balance feels a bit off because there's nothing attracting interest in the left 1/3 and while the leaves in the lower right and especially near the LRC do attract some attention. Maybe a modest crop from the left?

Hi Ram

The curving and converging lines are well defined and very pleasing, ..... the light and pallete of colors is a feast for the eyes :toast

The dof and tones are just perfect for me, Ram. At first I was not over excited about the comp, but the more I have looked the more there does seem to be a lovely balance of lines at different depths. I think it's one of those images that doesn't quite hit you straightaway but exercises its charm more subtly and gradually.

The soft pastels along with the graceful lines make this a stunning image, Ram. My only suggestion; and this is just a personal preference; would be a small crop from the left side. It seems to have better balance that way for me. Either way this is superb.

Gorgeous shot. AT 60mm can I assume an ext tube was used?

This "flows" so well, and the color is very appealing. Wonderful image.

You are the master of macro compositions creating wonderful colors, sweeping curves and teasing spot-on dof...all are blended together superbly in this shot!

I left the gallery (because without camera) looking at a beautiful photo of yours and I am now back with a new beauty. You deserve the degree of Master for this type of photos.
Take care.

I love this one Ram. Wonderful line moving through the frame and full of rich but subdued color. It holds a lot of interest for me.

Interest is in the viewers eye, and if the # of comments means anything, it definitely has it..
In the same style as your last post, a deliciously good image
