Bryan Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi Steve Taken a quick look. Positives include good keywording of fauna and some nice close ups. Interesting set of historical images. Negatives, some of the street scenes and landscapes look a bit bland to me. Why not try to get shots with people in them, and maybe look for stronger compositions and more punchy processing of these subjects. Hope that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Your iris shots are not Iris sibirica. They are bearded irises - probably Iris germanica. You can tell by looking at the throat of the flowers. Those 'hairy' bits are the anthers arranged in the characteristic bearded iris strip. There is a good market for botanical shots - for gardening magazines, calendars, nursery marketing, newspapers etc - but they need to be shots that will sell the product. In your climate you'll often need to shoot early in the morning to avoid the more delicate flowers drying out and distorting with the heat of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoSteve Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Thank you Guys for the input i will take it all on board LawrensonPhoto thanks for advice, I do try and concentrate on flora and wildlife, Bryan I agree about the street scenes and landscapes being a bit bland John thank you for pointing out the iris being mislabeled, when i compare the two side by side i can see a clear difference certainly looks like iris germanica. thanks all for your help and good advice Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
