Crescendo

Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

We have had zero cold weather and indeed the mild temperatures we have had seem to have stimulated our hibiscus to keep blooming and what’s even better the blooms will often last two or even three days vs being one day wonders. I was going to post these one at a time but thought I’d present the whole bunch. All of these were taken within the last few days and I wanted to show the variety we have been blessed with. >=))>

Specific Feedback

Tried to present a diverse group of blooms and lighting conditions. None of the images taken in full sun looked right or the flowers had mites on them spoiling the view.

Technical Details

Sony FE 70-200 f2.8 GM-II @ various focal lengths and ISO

Bill, you know we aren’t supposed to be envious, but seeing all these beautiful blooms that you have makes it challenging. No, I am happy for you. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us. You have a nice variety. I think my favorite is the yellow. Enjoy!

Excellent images, all, Bill. I think I like the second a fourth the most, but that’s probably just the color combinations rather than the photography.
