The Tatra Eyebright, made in small Dolina za Bramką (Gate Valley) in Tatra mountains.

What do you think about DOF?

Lovely color palette Igor and I like the triangular composition. I also like the supporting bg. If I were to change anything I'd like a little more dof on the viewer's rightmost flower. Of course unless your stacking that would have also sharpened your bg up, so... Beautiful image as posted.

Igor: Really good plane of focus management and a solid comp. Well done. >=))>

Excellent luminosity in this shot, and the colors are beautiful. Very well done.

Although the bloom on the right is not in sharp focus it doesn't look out of place. If you needed the horizontal orientation this works OK although the greens seem a little oversaturated for my taste. A stronger image IMO would be a vertical of just the two. :toast:

Igor, these flowers are very pretty! I like shallow DOF in general and think it works well here since the bg looks as though it would have been very distracting. Nice lighting as well!

Like this enormously, Igor - the flowers really pop out from the bg. For me the dof works fine, as does the space around the flowers which stresses their delicacy.

I loved the POV & DOF Igor, i've photographed these small beauties & know how though it is to get a decent comp.
Well Done :toast:
