Just another example of getting up close and personal in the desert. Always trying to learn from others. Given similar circumstances would any of you do some other things to make the pictures better or more interesting?
I've basically "shot in a vacuum" for almost 50 years and now I am finally seeking and getting helpful feedback. - - Voorhees

Please do. I see you are from Ohio. I was born in Akron, then later in life lived in Toledo. - - Voorhees

I like them both. With #1 I might pump up saturation and contrast a bit if possible. I would also be interested to see the plant from a little different vantage point (from closer to ground, for example) just to compare.

I am right in the center of those.:) Only 30 miles south of Cleveland. I don't do the fancy stuff. Just tried to touch them up some. Added some definition sharpening and up the colors some. and cropped the one.

I like the macro you brightened up. Makes quite a difference. You must be close to Brunswick. I have a nephew and his family that live in Brunswick. - Voorhees

Great Linda. Get me thinking outside the box. I like the idea of trying from closer to the ground. I think I need to carry knee pads with me as my knees are betting old and don't like getting on the ground. Thanks for suggestions. - - Voorhees

I keep intending to buy a lightweight, fold-up camping stool for that very purpose.

One very hard thing to learn,Taking photographs is like looking at a Snow globe, can be viewed from many angles and distances, each gives differently and remember "delete" is not a sin.

Hi Voorhees. Other than a little post to help the color the only thing I'd say is the first shot is too wide. You can crop of course but it's always better if you don't have to... just shoot closer.

The second shot, very nice.

Just a few miles south of Brunswick. I was born and raised in Brunswick. Didn't get to far.:):)
