Comment I like the rose, especially when I enlarge it so the flower fills the screen. For new photos, I'd suggest taking the shot when the entire flower is in the same kind of light. The bright sunlight has overexposed the tips of the petals. You can cut down on the contrast by holding a white diffusing screen (models that work for a flower are inexpensive) between the sun and the flower, or by photographing on a day when there are high, thin clouds. Next, try to subdue the background. One way to do that is to blur it using a wide-aperture lens such as f/2.8, f/2 or wider, and to move in pretty close (but not so close that the flower looks bad). Or select a flower that's high up, for example, growing in a pot on a balcony. Or choose a view that puts the background a long way away. Another way to subdue the background is to find a background that's getting less light than the flower. Using a telephoto lens gives a narrow angle, so even a small patch of shade can serve as a background. I hope you continue to contribute photos and wish you success in having your best work recognized. Fg2 12:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
