Sweet son of Methuselah! Don't think we are supposed to post pictures that big and that is quite possibly the biggest ever :eek:

Think I just passed my bandwidth quota for the month

Joe T · 11 Nov 2006 at 11:36

Please dont post pictures that large. Thanks

OK....

2136x2848 is a little too big. I'm going to take a wild stab and suggest that no one on here is going to have a monitor large enough to show that without scrolling which completely defeats the purpose of posting it.

If you resize it to 600 x 800 or so then a) everyone will be able to see the whole image and b) it will look an awful lot sharper than it does at the moment.

^^^ Indeed. I suggest you do this before a mod removes it for you mate...

That pic still has quite a few jpg artifacts, try this one

Duz, did you run that through a sharpening mask or do other stuff too? Quite an improvement!

I think he just did a better job of re-sizing the original huge picture

Jon Frost · 11 Nov 2006 at 14:52

oops! I think I did a pixel resize and not smart resize.

So what do you all think

(of the better photo!)

Sorry, but I don't like it.

I'm looking across the flower, rather than into it so my attention isn't really drawn in. It's very harshly lit, and lots of areas have "blown" the highlights. The composition of the frame looks cluttered and messy, there's not much "shape" of form in it. The green/white area to the top left is distracting and draws my attention too much.

For me, not one for he wall.

Here's my 2p...

I like the vibrant colours, and desaturating parts of it takes something away from that rather than drawing attention to the centre of the image.

I didn't liek the red and blue together. Just wasn't too my taste i guess.

Joe T · 11 Nov 2006 at 18:39

I think the crop posted above is much better. However, I think the desaturation is unnecessary.

Venus · 11 Nov 2006 at 21:46

i love that first pic! The colors are amazing and in my opinion a lovely shot! I don't like the black and whiteish...
But really well done!

the photo was not edited in anyway

and i cant help if nature used the red and blue!

Cheers
