Osteospermum 7

Gallery: FloraPosted June 13, 2014157 views8 comments

Hi all.

I hope you do not tire of me posting these osteospermums. This is the same pink sand plant, but a different bloom.

What I liked: The sense of motion in the shot.
What I am not sure about: the overall effect of the photo.

Any and ALL thoughts appreciated.

I love it Nathan. Soft but with lots of energy and interest from the detail. My favorite of these so far.

Nathan - I prefer the 2nd one in the series so far. This is pretty nice too but somehow I cannot relate to the vanishing stem and hence to the floating feel. I like the center rendition here better than #2.

This appeals to me as the best so far. As you indicated, there is a sense of motion—on the top 2/3ds. I am wondering if a pano crop from the bottom might serve that sense of motion better?

Nathan: Kind of going at these in reverse order but I sure like this one. Ditto on liking the sense of motion. A little less on the bottom might suit me a little better (perhaps 16:9 ratio) but this works for me. Brilliant POF. >=))>

The sense of motion is what I also like, Nathan. Dynamic feel to this one. Works for me.

This is just superb in my book, Nathan ! Wonderful focal plane, nice setting of the flower centre just off the third and lovely light and colour. Beautiful !!!!!

I really like how the pedals look and the detail in the center of the flower. For me I would love to see this same effect on the entire flower and centered in the frame but I like this effect best of the ones you have posted.
