What technical feedback would you like if any? I am interested in any comments. Thank you.

What artistic feedback would you like if any? I intentionally focused on just a few petals in front, with the rest of the flower blurred. To me, it emphasizes the brilliant color and perfection.

Pertinent technical details or techniques: This was taken inside with a tripod. Olympus E-M1MarkII, Olympus M.60mm F2.8 Macro lens, 1/10, ISO 100, f/3.2

(If the background has been replaced, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)

I like this a lot, Ann Louise. I think the depth of filed you chose works very well with nice fading to softer areas without going completely out of focus. I also like the bottom view of the flower and the interaction of the sepals and petals.

Ann Louise: Ditto what Dennis said. I like the POV especially and your DOF/POF choice. Nicely done. >=))>

Thank you for commenting! I try to get different angles of flowers and lighting. POF=?

Thank you for your thoughts on my photo. I am loving the 60mm macro lens to get this effect.

Point Of Focus. We get a little acronym crazy around here. :wink:

Ann Louise, I really like this a lot. I agree with Dennis and Bill about the DOF and POF. That nice smooth background makes the subject pop. Well done! :+1: :+1:

Thanks, Shirley for your comments. The background is a ceiling. We have a great place in our house with an overhead window so I can light a subject from the top and take the photo from below.

Love this one with selective focus with shallow dof, which can be tricky to achieve. I have several of these with focus on the wrong parts.

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your comments! I was just looking at your similar shot. I am just started to capture selective focus. As much as I like everything in focus, I am fascinated by the blurry petals in contrast with a few sharp petals.

Your choice of depth of field gives depth to the subject flower. Nice composition as well.
