Big Red

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

We have at least eight different varieties of day lilies in the garden and the possibility for more. This is one of if not my favorite of the bunch. It is the largest bloom and really commands attention. >=))>

Specific Feedback

I like to catch the first bloom of the bunch. The flowers fade after a day and when they fall off the stubs aren’t particularly photogenic. I also like seeing the rest of the buds.

Technical Details

Sony A7rIII
Sony FE 70-200 f2.8 GM-II @ 188 mm
ISO 400, 1/250 @ f5.6, 16 image stack in Helicon Focus

Excellent composition and just drop dead gorgeous flower, Bill. No nits from me.

Just stunning…
Striking colour, perfect buds, and sweet BG.
Nothing more to say…

It is gorgeous – I can see why it is a favorite, and the capture and processing are spot-on! The composition is wonderful to show the buds and they are arranged so well with the flower. I love the subdued BG which is supportive of the flower and offers no distractions. Totally yummy!!

Beautiful.
