Thanks for commenting, Graydon. Reality is always full of nuisances, isn't it. :-)
Purely hypotethical questions, of course, but what if I'd presented version 2 first? Would it alter the perception of realism? I think so. I could also have removed the oof flowers physically from the scene before shooting. If working with a tripod, the thought would probably have crossed my mind. Would that alter the realism? I dunno... :-) Jostein 2009/6/8 Graydon <[email protected]>: > On Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 10:20:22PM +0200, AlunFoto scripsit: >> As according to suggestions from Ken and Igor, I've manicured the >> bokeh and glossed the contrast. :-) >> http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/displayimage.php?pos=-220 >> >> Any comments on this version vs. the first are much appreciated. >> >> The first is here: >> http://alunfoto.blogspot.com/2009/06/lingonberry-flower.html > > The second produces a much less diffuse image; the visual centre if the > flower without meaningful distraction. > > I am not sure this is *better*; the isolation of the blossom reduces the > element of reality in the image, the sense that this is a thing seen, > rather than a thing imagined. > > -- Graydon > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
