Aahh, pretty! I can see this on my wall and me staring into it for hours... ;~)))

Preciosa fotografía.

this is epic! very nice photo

I like the abstract painting feel to it.

Has a feeling of 'fire' about it. I like it.

DoF is always a tricky thing when dealing with macro images. While I generally like a narrow DoF, in this instance it strikes me that the blurred foreground takes away from the interesting features in the center of the image. Not enough of the plant is in focus IMHO.

I think that the DOF is either too short, either too long. That's a difficult subject with a complex shape. That's not easy to have a direction, a strong pattern. You have disturbing dust on the leaf that could has been removed before (ouch!) of after the shot (with post processing). You have made a good job with the light at the shot. You could now ajust the levels to give tonus and eliminate a small voile.

This is such a cool subject that provides any number of ways to shoot. I am not sure that I agree with the DoF comments, I can see that there would be possibilities with this to do a series and focus on different parts of the leaf and let the rest fall out of focus. Having said that, I agree with Fantome tht there could be more work done on the levels to make the whole image more striking.

This is a strong photo - good comp and good color - for me, the dof is fine for what this photographer was trying to accomplish.

Bonita y agradable composición. Ceo Ana que la piel de la pera derecha en su parte inferior presenta una perdida de nitidez quedando difuminado el borde que la une con la pulpa y el color de de esa zona. Bonita luz. Saludos

Totalmente de acuerdo.(Aún estoy aprendiendo....)Gracias

Era yo quién contestó antes, no Augusto (esto pasa por trabajar en el mismo equipo.....)
Saludos

I'm not sure that red was the right color here for the background. But I also like your composition and framing.

Muy bonita representación de esta bucólica estación.
Merecería la pena volver a tomarla en 15-20 dias. saludos

Los colores son muy representativos del otoño. Estan bien captados
Muy bonita

Un rincón muy sugerente, con esa barandilla abrazando la escena.

Me gusta mucho y el punto de vista se sale de lo habitual.

Beautiful. Nice colors, pretty detail.

It took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at -- it is well composed (making it somewhat of an abstract), and I love the lighting and color treatment. Nice job, Ana.

@Leigh-Anne, so if you took the time to figure out what it was, why didn't you share that info with those of us for whom this is over our heads...??? lol

I like this a lot, and don't have a clue...

Es el rallador de mi cocina...
Gracias

Ha ha! Beamer, ud entiende? She said that it's a grater from her kitchen.

Nicely seen! love it.

Felicidades!

Enhorabuena Ana.

Great one! How did you get that foggy look?

Es una imagen mágica, muy sugerente. Enhorabuena Ana!!

Gracias a todos.
Markus: no he hecho nada especial...sólo probé, jugué, y surgió.
Saludos

Es la foto que más me ha impactado en meses. Enhorabuena!

i don't care for the toning on this one.

I like the cool tones, DOF and angle. Very appealing. They look like concrete test cylinders.
