pink rose

pink rose by EssjayNZ.
We teach beginners of all ages, where I work. This rose is in the garden of one of our seniors. She was having trouble connecting to the internet with the modem her grand daughter had given her, so I offered to go round and check it out.
There were still some late blooming roses in the garden, so I had to delay my return to work by taking some shots. I am looking forward to returning when the over 40 varieties (alll with scent) will be in bloom.

Kudos.

Hmm, didn't realise when I posted this to MiRea's Realm, that there was a rose before it. Both of them with a totally different feel, which I think shows the versatility of the rose!

lovely and soft. I like the fade-to-white near the top, but I do wish the focus were either sharper or more de-focused.

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 4/7 ranking.

I don't think this is out of focus, the dof is tiny:

Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/2.8

slower shutter, smaller aperature, I think. There isn't quite a large enough dof here, the whole thing doesn't have to be razor sharp, in fact the softness is nice, I think, but it's too soft right now. I want to see more of the details inside the petals, not just the edges.

The color is great, and I really love how it fades to white (although maybe a bit darker than 100% white would be nice)

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 5.5/7 ranking.

Technically good from my view, nice to look at to boot. A fav for me so must be a top score.

I like 3/4s of the image, the bottom quarter I'm not fond of. The almost ugly grey tones in the bottom right screws up the soft romantic feeling here, and the harsh edge in the bottom left (that looks blue on the edge) does the same. Everything above that is wonderful, but it's a shame about the lower portion nonetheless

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 5/7 ranking.

This is a good shot, however it is a bit of bad luck that you placed it just behind one of the best shots of roses I've ever seen, and so my brain tries to compare them.

For me the whole picture is washed out a bit. It's much too bright. The DOF works for me, it gives it a dreamlike quality - and I think this is what you wanted to accomplish. I agree as well about this grey part of the picture, it detects from this feeling. Overall good points but not outstanding.

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 4.5/7 ranking.
