Beautiful Weed?

Wow, I've gone more than 2 weeks with almost zero DPS activity! I'm sure I missed alot. Haven't had much photography time, though I managed to get this. As usual don't hold back.

I like the way you have it off centered but think maybe a bit more contrast to bring it out more.

The horizon line where the blue meets green is a little distracting. Maybe the background should be all one color.

I like the way you have set the plant up to the Rule of Thirds.

Nice shot. The weed is pretty.

I agree the different colors are distracting.

ribkaje,

There is almost nothing in the background of interest, but the weed is tiny enough to be shown full size. If you zoom in a crop, with a little room all around it, the weed blooms would look bigger and less cluttered. Weeds are half my photo collection, so I can appreciate this photo even more. Come back more often, if you can.

Definitely crop the picture to exhibit the blooms, it is quite a subject, keep up the good work!

[ribkaje]

Thanks for the advice guys! Here's the edit, with a crop like jC and taykuyphotoart suggested. I tried removing the blue wall behind but unfortunately my cloning skills are horrible, especially around the blooms' edges. Will give this one another go soon!

ribkaje,

Little gems in many shapes, bigger shows them off, makes them more important. When looking in the viewfinder, if you give yourself a little more room around the blooms, you have the option to place them left, right, up, down. And of course, notice what's behind them. Good eye for interesting subject choice.
