Thank you :)

Very nice!

Pretty.

you have the right idea and have produced a nice shot. What I would encourage you to do is learn about f-stops and shutter speeds and the correlation between them and learn every function of your camera. The building blocks of great photography is when you get the understanding of f-stops, shutter speeds and depth of field down pat. To make this shot fantastic instead of pretty - or nice you could manipulate the depth of field so that the flower is sharp and the background is a blur. When you can see sticks and leaves and detail in the background of a close up shot, it leads the eye away from he subject - which in this case is the yellow part of the crocus (the only part of the shot in sharp focus). So you either get closer and have the crocus fill your screen or allow a little background but very blurred so it is just a dark colour. (You do this by shooting on a wider aperture - or smaller f-stop number) Then the flower will spring off the page at you. Happy snapping you have a lot to learn and the time to do so, I wish you well. If you want me to elaborate on any of the points I make here, contact me on dr46on@bigpond.net.au - I think you have great potential.

Future, I think you have great potential too. But keep on shooting and learning. Just a word of caution, Anonymous may be a well known user on this site with a real screen name. Unless some of the other users know the person via the email address, be very careful about responding. Talk to your folks first if nothing else. The advice is good, but be cautious. "Anonymous" and "email" adresses in the same sentence raise red flags in my mind. TOG

Future photog listen to what The Old Guy said. If you have any questions about the Anons advice there are plenty of people here who can help!!
