Berries & Ladybirds

I was just too tempted to post these, although they're not much good. I took them earlier today; any tips would be great.

Also, don't worry; I don't plan to make a habit of clogging up the forums. But I just couldn't resist posting a few more.

I know there are all too many points I need to improve on, especially things like the glare on the ladybird among other things. Yet I'm kind of proud of myself for actually managing to resize them properly and put on the watermark- they were all different sizes last time. Any more tips would be great.

I can't really give you any tips, I'm not much of a photographer myself, but I liked these. They look like the sort of pictures that would be default desktop backgrounds.

Hello there mist dear =)
Here to try and help you with a review =) So I want to start off with saying that you have talent for photography.
I normally don't really like pictures of plants and flowers because there are too much of them really...but these kept my attention. They were sharp and colorful and made me happy =) So congrats on that!!
Now let's start with picture number one

1. I love love LOVE this one XD And it's my favorite from these tree. I love the contrast between the red ladybug and fresh green leafs. It makes the ladybug jump out...which is good XD Good job on this one =)

2. The same lovely contrast and I like how there's somehow a black background. It makes it professional looking XD
Good job on this one too. This is my least favorite though..Not really with a reason but just because I like the others better XD

3. Very nice! I love how sharp the flower is (Not talking about the spikey thingies here XD)
It's a very interesting picture and makes you look at it for a while.

Okay that was all I have to say XD Good work and keep making pictures and keep posting pictures!

They look amazing! The foreground pops out nicely and looks great. I'm not that into photography, but I've always liked to see some of the work every so often. They satisfy my taste anyway.

Hello MorningMist,

Let me start by saying that you're absolutely incredible!

Also, don't worry; I don't plan to make a habit of clogging up the forums. But I just couldn't resist posting a few more.

No please clog up the forum, you're amazing and I really loved these loads. I like how bright and beautiful they are and the contrast of colors and the object of the photos are really excellent. You have a real skill in photography and your pictures are proof of that.

The first photo is easily my favorite photo of the bunch. I like the excellent contrast and the strong focus on the ladybird. It just speaks more than the other photos and because it has something moving in it, it becomes more unique because it isn't something as easy to capture and it isn't something you can capture more than once. The only thing is working on the angle, a shadow seems to cover the bottom of the ladybird and it makes it harder to see the ladybird and it blends into the leaf which I'm almost certain wasn't the effect you were going for.

The second photo is also particularly nice,

The same lovely contrast

I agree with qara, again the contrast between the leaf and the focus are what makes this so special and unique. The brightness in this makes all of the colors really bright and beautiful and it is really cool and beautiful. Again it's a little dark around the edges of the object which isn't a nice effect but this is still nevertheless an extremely good photo.

The third one would have to be my least favorite, I just didn't like it as much as the others and it's so sharp that the plant appears somehow pixelated. Regardless of personal taste it was actually quite a high quality photo and I like how the background is blurred because it makes the main object more obvious and it stands out brilliantly. This photo looks really natural and very pretty.

Overall you have some fantastic photos and it was a pleasure to be able to look over these. Please post more, you are extremely talented and these are very inspiring and beautiful. If you have any questions or concerns or you want another review then just PM me and I will gladly help you out. Keep up the amazing work and never stop taking photos oh and practice, practice, practice.
