Hi,
Please provide feedback
-
Used Phaseone P65+, mamiya af 120. Processed in capture one.
-
Technically: out of focus where it counts, or movement blur. Highlights blown or overcorrected into gray. Halo around dark petals.
Estethically: too busy.
EDIT to add: on the positive side, I like that you used a selective lighting.
-
Many thanks, It was too windy outside and sun was too bright. I will try to include the feedback in my next composition.

I would love to receive more views...

I felt rather as Slobodan did. In the colour shot, the distant flower (small) is in focus and what appear to be attempts to sharpen the closer flowers (large) have resulted in rather ugly haloes. The B&W has similar focus problems, but is more interestingly lit.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, I tried to reprocess the image and focus stacking. I would really appreciate should you please provide your feedback.
-
That looks differently focussed but not focus stacked.

I used 3 images from same stock, as I realized that the images weren't fully aligned and stacking them was creating halos.
-
Imho too much dark also the subject, (ok low dynamics, but here they are flat) and focus so-and-so...
All the best,
Sandro

Many Thanks,
I am a bit novice to medium format and trying to learn by, reading and trail & error method. A bit of more detail will help me improve faster.

As often the case, it is a matter of personal choice. Who were you taking the image for, yourself or others? IMHO, there is too much dark, even to highlight the flowers, perhaps a change of background e.g using a card. Also I am not sure about the focussing. Have you experimented with focus stacking if you are going to have a plain background?
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Many thanks, Let me re take some pictures keeping focusing stack in mind.

Successful focus stacking requires zero motion of either the camera or the subject during the entire process. ie, bring the subject into some kind of studio situation.
It takes WAY more layers than you think.

Thanks, after researching I do realized that I will have to take many more pics to focus stack them and there should not be any relative movement as auto align does work that effectively.

A couple of points:
Generally when elements in the picture are close to each other, it is visually more appealing to separate them either by distance, luminescence or by focus. So the 1st one there is a differentiation made via focus - the main flower is in focus whereas the one bending behind it is out of focus, which is good. However it still somewhat distracts from the main subject - perhaps it can be made even softer or darkened some more, particularly the brightest area on it. Similarly on the color image, there are two flowers competing with each other on the left. Physical separation would have made the composition stronger or one of them could be made selectively softer and darker in post-process to accentuate the other.
Secondly while I like what you are doing by spot-illuminating the flower petals giving it a feeling of the light coming out of the flowers, the color are getting blown-out towards the center. I would cut down the intensity a bit there so there is full color gradation all the way to the bottom of the petals.
Just my 2 cents, FWIW....

Many Thanks , It helps a lot.

Hi,
here again I request your feedback cum critical comments about new pictures since i am still trying learn a bit detailed and low level feedback will really be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Technical issue - looks like the white balance is off leaving a purplish colour cast. Skin tones on the people sitting by the water seems strongly red.

If the flower images are supposed to be in the genre of decorative art then they both suffer the same defect: they are not decorative.

Thanks for the feedback , how about composition ?

Thanks, How about composition of Castle picture ? Please provide your critical feedback.
