[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I discovered this red bud in my upper garden yesterday (we have two gardens). We have a lot of intersting fauna up there...
I took this picture with auto exposure 1/400s, aperture f8, ISO 400.

I my WS I posted a similar picture with a slightly different angle, manual exposure 1/400s, aperture f5.6 and ISO 100.

I hope you can spot the difference.

Bonjour Liliana
Il s'agit sans doute de l'épervière orangée.

Petite plante qui montre timidement le bout de son nez sur votre photo, mais qui devient vite envahissante dans les jardins !

Cette photo est remarquable. J'adore ces images si simples qui relève de l'art. Peut-être que le sujet principal manque un peu de précision! Bravo Liliana. Gilles

Your are right Liliana, it is indeed a red bud. A very beautiful one at that. I have looked at the WS and honestly would not be able to choose the better of the two. I like the black framing on this one, better, but that has nothing to do with the image. I love the Dof used and the positioning of the lovley hairy plant. Simple and beautiful.
Well done.
Warm Regards
Wanda

Hello Lili,

Your macro is sharply focussed and the details of the hairy stem stand out very well but I am not sure what it is! It looks to be perhaps some kind of pink daisy.
Good dof to isolate the b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Liliana,

An original plant indeed!
The bud about to burst is a fine subject, and I can't help notice this is a very hairy plant, hehehe...
Appealing simplicity, and the bud stands out well on the background!

A nice isolation of this bud and captured nicely with color tone and BG blur for effective macro. I like the exposure to show all the tiny thorns.

Hi Lili,

The other one in WS is great as well - two gardens, then you will find something interesting always I would think.
Strange to see that one red bud and the others purple.
Lovely presentation with that green BG.

Hello Liliana,
a very sharp shot of the bud. The minute details of the flower is veery well noticed. The sprouting stalk gives a good impact to the photo. The blurry background pushed the flower out of the frame, making it so brilliant.

Regards,
Foozi

You are very fortunate to have 2 gardens. I love this red bud against the blurred green. The hairs of the plant stand out so well. A lovely composition with beautiful colours.

Hi Liliana

Lovely simple macro shot. Nicely composed and great POV.

All the best for 2009

Karan

Nice colours and sharpness, nice work on the frame, but what I like best about this shot is the background - it has the effect of watercolour brushstrokes.

I would never have placed the bud so centrally, but I guess it's the diversity of compositional styles that makes photography interesting!
