So the DOF is really shallow on all of these. But I like it. It adds a dreamlike and soft quality to the rose. The muted colors also emphasizes the softness. As an effect, I think it worked really well. I will say that on some, a definite focal point is hard to find but I'm not sure if it bothers me with this set. I really like the way the DOF and the lines of the petals make new shapes rather than the shape of the rose. I especially like this in 2 & 4.
And all this can be summed up in two words: Nice Post.
I really like 4 and 6 - the soft muted pink tones just do it for me. And the water drops are a great touch. The other ones are good, the those two are the standouts. I think the DOF is great and the focal point is perfect in 6.
really pretty...soft..4 and 6 for me too. You're getting great with that macro and trying new stuff out...I was amazed the difference going from say f2.0 up to 8.0. That's usually the range I shoot in!
Shame on you Penny. You make it soooooo hard to pick a fave. Love the soft focus and shallow DOF. The color you used in #4 and the drops make it the stand out for me. But all are amazing. Just add some interesting captions & we'll be calling you Candice Jr.
Gasp...thud!! Getting up off the floor!! I need a seat belt on this chair to view this site!
I agree the soft tones and shallow DOF make these positivly soft and dreamy. 5 is my favorite and I am going to have to buck the majority but 6 seems a tad dark for my taste. Course that could be my monitor too.
Seems we are all in agreement--and all are beyond my ability to 'shoot' something like these...no maco for one and cannot keep hands steady enough.
I love #1--the soft yellow is beautiful...and the water drops on the last one is a hit for me..each of these has such a dreamy--out of reach feel to them.

I was going for the soft look with shallow DOF. I have more for my next post that are a little different.
