Hello there I like those pictures, these are nice flowers.
The first one would have to be my favorite The second one looks a bit confusing to me... there's not really anything that holds my attention in there. I love the colors in the last one But it looks a bit blurry and unfocused.
Hey! Sorry if I'm being harsh here. 3_3 (Second review today: I'm on a roll! xD)
The first photo is pretty good - the colours are really cool - but the angle is so weird, I find myself craning my neck to have a good look at it. Odd angles are good in photos - just don't make them so odd, it hurts.
The next two photos are both slightly out of focus. How close were you to the flowers when you shot it? Try using macro for an up, close and personal shot next time, or try to keep the camera as still as possible. Also, don't be afraid to retake and retake and retake photos. I do it a lot, just to make sure I have a good range of photos.
However, as you said, the 'direct, unnatural light' has given a really cool effect to these images. The plants seem like something you'd find from Pandora or something, and it gives a really cool image. But next time, you might want to take either macro photos or broader photos, because these ones seem slightly... eh, isolated, I guess, and sort of cold and distant.
Hmm, you seem to lack a subject in these photos. All three are pictures of leaves, wood, sticks and flowers going every which way, and that compounds to a very confusing whole. In the first, you have a composition as a subject, a structure of shapes and lines that is somewhat pleasing to the eye. In the third picture, you have that purple leaf (albeit a blurry purple leaf) as a central subject. In the second photo, however, there really is no subject. The mass of thick green leaves are off-center, and falling out of the bottom of the picture. What you must do is remember that a picture only captures a small area, whereas your eyes can see much more, and in greater detail. These flowers and leaves probably looked beautiful to you, but try to imagine looking down a square pipe at your subject next time, since that's about the view we get. In short, you must capture beauty in such a way that it remains the same even when compressed into a small photo. That way, we could enjoy the entire thing as you saw it. Have I not made much sense? It happens. Jenth
EDIT: Also, I see you've hyped up the saturation. I like that in the first picture, but it doesn't work very well with the third. The second one doesn't seem to have been edited.
I love the colors in these photos. They give every flower its own uniquness, something that I don't usually see here in New York. Alot of the stuff here is green. I loved the picture of the purple leaf, it is beautiful.
When all you have is nothing, there is alot to go around.
My camera does not have macro in the sense I'm thinking of. My optical zoom is 3. Megapixels are 8. Admitingely, I was a bit lazy when shooting these photos because of the inhabitants inside; there were still leftover fruitflies which are food for the frogs.
Correct, the second, is the only one which was not edited.
The big, pinkish/purple plant is a bromalied, if anyone was wondering.
Wow, these are really good. I love the colors in the third one, the bright pink leaf really stands out. Although one of the pictures of the poison dart frog is a little blurry to me, I'm not sure if I'm seeing things or not. But these are really good pictures. Keep up the good work!
