Sweet violet[edit]

An image of a sweet violet that addresses the issues brought up with a previous sweet violet image (DOF and chromatic abberation). I'd love some detailed commentary before all the sweet violets are beginning to die off; a web search finds that they usually only last to the end of April, and it is beginning to become quite hard to find a decent example.

I'll just leave them on Thegreenj's user page. -Fcb981 00:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Take pictures on an overcast day; in the image page version, the purple looks too pale, and the center of the flower is in shadow. Is there still some fringing on the upper left petal? It's much better than the previous one, and beautiful, but not necessarily quite good enough. I'm not a photographer, so I'm totally making this one up, but I have a strange suggestion; could you shoot under a newspaper or something? If you aren't getting overcast days, maybe you could make one. Enuja 00:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On overcast days you tend to get much flater and toneless light. To my eye the lighting here is fine if not very good. -Fcb981 05:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
