Title: Evening Salvia
Post by: Bob_B on June 03, 2021, 03:40:18 pm

Here's another experiment: wide aperture, shallow depth of field. The subject is Salvia flowers. Your thoughts and comments are most welcomed. Thank you for taking the time. - Bob

It works nicely for me, since the best light is on the focused blossoms.

It works in concept for me too, Bob. Beautiful color.
That being said, I would prefer to see just a little more DOF. I realize this is an esthetic choice, however, so it is up to you.

I’m like the Buridan’s ass caught between Eric and David. But I think I lean more towards Eric’s view.

I like it like it is. The DOF is very fine but I would be open to more experiments…
Well done!
