The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This will be the first of a series of water lily shots that I took at the Lowes Water Gardens in northwest Houston. (not the big box store, but rather a mom and pop paradise) It is also a haven for dragonflies so I’m drawn there frequently.>=))>
Specific Feedback
Almost all of these are single capture, thus some of the high f-numbers. I don’t see any diffraction related image effects.
Technical Details
Sony A7rIII
Sony FE 70-200 f2.8 GM-II, 2xTC @ 334mm
ISO 400, 1/25 @ f32

Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Beautiful bloom, Bill and beautifully photographed. The composition works well for me and the color is awesome. I’m guessing this was on a tripod at that shutter speed? Though if the manufacturer’s claims are to be believed, we should be able to hand hold a 1 second exposure with no problem.
Dennis: Old habits die hard so my camera practically lives on a tripod. About the only time I hand hold is if I’m chasing a butterfly or uncooperative dragonfly. I have a fairly steady hand but I find it hard to get the fine comp adjustments I want for stationary macro/flora/landscape images hand held. >=))>
The color is fantastic. I might darkthe triangular green area in the lower LH corner as there is a light diagonal line that catches my eye. Other than that, this one will look impressive on the wall…Jim
