[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday we had a very welcome break from the rain. The sun was out and so was I. Not far from my house thisa filed of daisies caught my eye.
Well, not much I can tell you about them, but the colours are really stunning, bright and happy.
I used the smallest aperture available on my camera to try increase the DoF as much as possible. However, the closer the subject, the narrower the DoF. Hope you like it anyway, and I'd appreciate your comments.

Very nice picture. I really like the colors. Your DOF is very good, almost too narrow thought, you wouldn't want the petals to be out of focus while the center is not. Unless that's the effect you went for. Nice frame to add to this excellent picture.

I really like the way the clarity is isolated. I think this is a colorful delight!

Excellent pictures Barry... nice colour and effective isolation using the shallow DOF.

I also find that the picture is slightly too "hot", try to reduce the contrast or slightly reduce in exposure.

This is a really great picture and beautiful in many ways. I love the DOF you have done.

What a lovely, vibrant shot. I think the DoF works well.

Nice colors, nice composition, nice details. Very good work. Claude

Great shot Bazz. Love the colours and the selective focus. Tim.

Good focusing and effective DOF. The Yellow and orange colours really attracted me. Good combination of warm colours.

YEE

Barry, what a glorious riot of fantastic colour, not sure that I have enough superlatives to do this fine photograph justice. Cheers G

Hi Barry,

Beautiful flowery field
I am amazed with such
beauty, of colors and details!
Congratulations

I like that 1 flower is coming out in a field of the same flowers. It is like saying: here I am, look at me, ain't I beautifull. I like it that the photo is just focussing on one flower.

Just asside comment, I read you're intro and your bad experience in South Africa. I only wanted to say, if they laughed at your photo's they are very stupid people. Making photo's is a learning process and some days you have brilliant photo's and other days....this photo you made is brilliant!!! Well done.
