Great work. Composition and contrast are outstanding.

Bad form, HenBres, bad form.

Prime, I love the second shot. I could look at that for hours.

I think primetime is showing plenty of talent. The shots are remarkable and shows a variety of talent with depth of field and composition as well as shutter speed. It takes a good photographer to take a picture of a bee that is crystal clear. Just because he/she used PP to convert to B&W doesn't make them a bad photographer. I think it makes them a better photographer because they use computers to enhance their shots. If you don't like computers that's your choice. Don't call it crap because it was PP. Critique but don't be mean and obnoxious. It looks like you post to just get a reaction and you succeeded with me but I wanted to tell primetime I love the photos. As for you HenBres I think you should put up or shut up because all I can find out there is an antagonistic attitude with no pictures to back yourself up.

I just want to agree with Samhail here. These are great BW shots with great DOF. Digital photographers don't have production in darkrooms like we did with film - that's what a computer is for. A digital camera doesn't take a photograph really, it takes a digital negative that "needs" to be tweaked and fiddled with. Sure, as much composition and colour should be done in camera, and saying "I'll just fix it in post" can be a cop out, but these obviously have been taken well originally - they are great shots no matter how they're produced.

Hey Primetime. I won't bother wasting my breath on HenBres. Oops...Did I say that. Once again you have done some outstanding work here. I would agree that the composition, depth of field, and clarity of your images are great. I found in the second photo that the focus was not really tack on the flowers, or at least the light coloured flowers, but on a darker one in the middle right third. This is my only distraction in this series. Keep up the fantastic work!
