[SI] Macro/Closeup - Some comments
On Tue, 29 May 2012 19:17:04 -0700, Savageduck
wrote: Bowser: Macro-01: Nice retention of the detail in the dandelion on the verge of detonation, emphasized by the shallow DOF. The B&W treatment works. Macro-02: This shot does not work as a B&W. The full color and texture of the rusty surface would have been a better way to go. I tried it both ways, and it's just preference. I guess I'm in a B&W mood lately. I preferred the texture and shades of gray to the somewhat annoying yellow colors of the original. Macro-03: Again, I would have preferred to have seen this showing the metallic surface au natural. Perhaps in a little closer on the crown detail would have made it a tad more interesting. An interesting piece none the less. The color shot didn't have a lot of color, and wasn't contrasty at the right places to enhance the surface detail. I thought the B&W converstion allowed me to enhance contrast and give a much better look at the detail of the piece. BTW, the exhibit, Pompei, was awesome. |

Some of the shots are not close-ups in any form and some of the close-ups and pseudo-macros have no composition that is discernible. Aah! The rewind. You do understand that your level of credibility took a massive dive with your earlier "preemptive strike" post, don't you? Next time just comment on the individual submissions, and see if you can provide some constructive criticism. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Here is my take on your submissions, and PeterN's third shot. Tony Cooper: MACRO_Available: Good closeup of the displaying lizard, with great color on that macho flag. MACRO_JAPF: Nice! Great capture of the skin patterning. MACRO_Rose: Very nice. One of the better flower submissions. The detail is good with the subdued saturation. I like it. Peter Newman: Macro-Dahlia145: This works on the abstract level, the soft brush stroke petals offset by the gold. Nice. My part in this SI is done. Everybody else is now welcome to comment on my comments, or make their own comments on the entire Mandate. Just try not to use Rich's example. -- Regards, Savageduck |

'Twas ever thus. ;-) You could show us up with your own photos of course. We'll even allow your "old" stuff in. Just hope it isn't as out of focus, underexposed and hopelessly grainy as past examples. |

He is just restating the preemptive condemnation he posted long before the images were posted. Take a look at the shots yourself, and provide this community of photographers the benefit of your constructive criticism. Your words of experience along with a few examples of what we should be striving for would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Savageduck |
