[edit] Fringed Tulip

A "fringed" tulip. The fringing is caused by a mutation.

It seems to be FP quality to me. Image by Pharaoh Hound. It appears in Tulip, as well as my userpage.

Pros:

  • Good lighting
  • High resolution
  • Good saturation
  • Sharp focus
  • Great Picture

Cons:

  • The angle may not be very engaging
  • The focus is on the center of the flower, rather then the fringing.

Comments and criticism are welcomed (in fact, I would be grateful).

Comments:

  • Unfortunatly the bottom part is out of focus and the color seems wierd to me for some reason. -Ravedave 03:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The bottom part is quite out of focus, and there is a distracting blue shape underneath. It's otherwise a nice photo, except that generally it seems to be convention *not* to shoot straight downwards, but rather, sideways. It just works better? Stevage 11:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
    • The blue spot beneath is the vase the flower was in, would it be better if I removed it? --Pharaoh Hound 13:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Generally speaking, flower photos look better as "natural" as possible - preferably while still living ;) Probably better to just avoid vases and so forth in future photos, unless you're taking photos of flower *arrangements* or it's particularly appropriate for some reason.

I would have to cut the flower to get a decent background, however these tulips are still in bloom and I may try to get a better photo. I'm sure I can figure out a way to get a good background. --Pharaoh Hound 12:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
