Maybe I’ll talk more about this on the webinar Tuesday, https://www.lenspiration.com/photo-critique-with-lenspiration-mar-12/, but here are some quick answers:
My favorite is the first, with the bee in mid-air and distinct against the background! With a card, you really want something that is extraordinary. It’s got the best composition too.
The second one I can’t see the head of the bee as well and it’s not what’s in focus, so I don’t notice it as much.
The last one is a close rival to the first. Seeing the entire shape of the flow makes me notice it more as a special subject. The bee is nice and sharp and brighter than what’s behind it (since the sun is on it and not on what’s behind it). I REALLY wish it was composed so that the empty space was more on the left side of the picture than on the right (instead of their being equal empty space on either side of the flower). Do you have any other shots that have more space on the left? Maybe I could experiment with some different crops on the webinar.
Isn’t it kinda nice to have different folks tell you which ones they like? It’s SOOO helpful when I’m trying to choose the pictures for my calendars. 🙂 Maybe we can take a poll on the webinar and get even more opinions.
I’ll show how I’d edit them and crop that last one on Tuesday!
