Re: Cosmos bipinnatus Picotee

love the detail but the PP isn't working for me ...I think in this case would like to see it with a nice natural bokeh

It's a nice specimen but agree with Ian. Was this cut out and put onto the dark background?

Don't like dark background Ian and Alan? What about light?

Re: Cosmos bipinnatus Picotee

light works a lot better Chris, but I do wonder if a light pink wouldn't be better ?

Strange how we all prefer different colours etc Ian. I prefer the dark background.

But, Light Pink???

Now thats a bit too girlie for me. (Hope that dosen't sound sexist, its not meant to be)!

Re: Cosmos bipinnatus Picotee

It is the sharpness of the edge that doesn't work for me on either background. The shot itself I really like just not the PP.

Hmmm the light background doesn't work for me. Better against the black but perhaps the edges of the leaves need softening a bit?

Thanks Andrew, the sharp edges are intentional, soft edges just don't seem to work as good.

Thanks Alan, soft edges don't look so good.

I tried soft edges to start with Ian, but they don't seem as good to me. Sorry pinks not for me.

thats why I think a softer background may achive a better edge ....but if you prefer the hard / sharpe edge its your image Chris ..
