The background of this shot is what makes it stick out. The colors remain vibrant inspite of the blur and really draw attention to the entire piece even though the flower is the central focus. Wonderful composition and creatively done.

It's like a faery-tale! Now all we need is the glass spires of a castle in the distance... Also i like the colors in the pic.

Yeah, a polarizer makes wonders to lighting...

This is a fantastic shot. Great composition. The tulip in the foreground is in perfect focus, and the background is colorful but not overly busy. Great DOF as well. Well done.

Thanks! Indeed, the DOF is perfect on this one. But it's a bit too dark overall. Too much shadows. The lighting was too direct.

I really like this shot! It looks almost surreal. The depth of field is excellent and the colors are very vivid!

Esti napfényben készült? Nekem tök este hangulatom lett tőle. Bár lehet, hogy csak a narancssárga virágok miatt a háttérben...

A polárfilter sötétitette be az eget!
(hint: az exiff infoban ott van az exponálás ideje másodpercre pontosan!

This one is beautiful, too. I really cant work out which I like best...not that I have to

Thanks. They're quite different this time. I preferr part IX, however, almost every commenter preferrs part VIII. What a dilemma!

I like this one the best out of the series. I especially appreciate your control of the focus and depth of field. The only small (very small) annoyance is the way the stem of the tuplip blends in with the grasses in the background. This seems to be a bit of a change again in your subject matter - I can't talk though, I wander all over the place with what I photograph!!

I see what u mean. Actually there was a lot more grass before, I rarefied it with my hands, but I guess I wasn't thorough enough. The scene took place in my grandma's garden, the very corner of it, I had my back against the fence and a couple of weird looks on my back from the neighbours what the hell am I doing crouching in the corner below the cherry tree surrounded by tall nefarious... (I hope I used the correct terms...

Thanks! I do love it too!

This one's better than Essence Part IX
The composition is great, and the flower leaning towards the part of the sky that's in view gives a really nice overall look.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
However, I like part IX better. The blurred color-orgy in the BG and the 100% sharp tulip in the right third makes it more pleasing to me. I can't help, I like simple things better. (well, at least visually)

Thanks! I paid a lot of attention to the natural bordering and the placing of the subject.

Lovely composition... I like the background being a little darker... Makes the tulip pop more... And it's not too dark to still see details... Very nice job indeed!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! The polarizing filter helped me a lot to get the most detail from the strongly lit tulip, while darkening the BG, esp. the sky for this contrast.

Welcome! I have a polarizing filter that came with my camera, I guess I need to start using it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Go ahead! But don't forget to rotate it, like I forgot for the first few shots...

Yeah, I'm sure I'll mess up lots of shots... But, hey, I do that anyway!

kedves. ez jobban tetszik, mint a 9-es, valoszinuleg a faoszlop miatt jobbra.

Ennél kifejezetten arra mentem rá, hogy természetes kerete legyen a képnek. Viszont a 9-es az elmosott háttérszín-kavalkádjával és a teljes mélységében éles, harmadolóba elhelyezett tulipánfejével jobban tetszik. Talán az egyszerűsége miatt.

te már inkább belemagyarázod a képeidbe, hogy miért szereted őket
e.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ezt nem értem egészem. Minden képemet szeretem, különben nem raknám fel a galériába. Viszont mind másért tetszik. Más lehet ami a legjobban sikerült bennük, amit a legjobban sikerült eltalálnom.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
csak kötözködtem.
viszont azt észrevettem több kezdő mű vésznél (pl. képzős egyetemistáknál is), hogy azért szeretik a képeiket, mert technikailag ilyenek meg olyanok. nem az esztétikai eredményt, hanem az elkészítést. s ez nem jó.
velem is előfordul 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Persze az a legjobb ha a kép technikailag is jó, és önkifejezést is szolgál. Az előbbiben azt hiszem egyre inkább javulok, az utóbbi viszont egyre ritkul az utóbbi hónapokban.

Erre az a megoldás, hogy fogod a géped, és elindulsz cél nélkül. Azt fotózod le, ami megfog, teljesen szabadon, mindentől (előítéletek, továbbgondolások stb.) függetlenül. Ha van egy digigéped, akkor még jobb!

Eddig is ezt csináltam...

Akkor nem tudod, mi az ön, amit ki szeretnél fejezni. Ha ki szeretnéd fejezni.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sajnos a képeim csak kis része tényleges, tudatos önkifejezés. De igenis vannak köztük erősen expressziv darabok - Pew, Warmth, Murderer, Empty thoughts, Hope, The blue behind, meg talán a Pessimism.

the depth of the shot is great, though it could probably be improved by an increase in brightness

I think it has a perfect exposition, more exposure would have overexposed the tulip. Is your monitor calibrated? Maybe it's set too dark.
