The people are photographed rather nicely. I think the left and right edges of the photograph should be cropped closer to the subjects. That puts more attention towards them, rather than the background behind them.

Thanks Bob. I think I have quite a few verticals that accomplish that.

I keep many of my favorites at 500px and I do go through them now and then to see how I've improved and remember the places I've been things I've seen. I also go back through my archives to weed out all the pics that should never see the light of day and I find old gems. At the time I didn't see them as gems because I didn't know how to process them.

Not many. Even fewer people ever read the original post before they start flapping their jaws.

The gnome's head is cut off by the frame. Why go to the trouble of getting the reflection if you are going to cut it off? Hot spots might be avoided using softer diffused light.

Nice lighting and focus on the yellow flower. Even though the leaves are blurred, there is good definition in the veining. The hibiscus is a lovely flower. I've heard that name, but have never seen one. Do they grow in Minnesota? Zone 3?

Well I think it is sharp. I like the suggestion of a vertical for this shot. I would also suggest diffused light to avoid shadows. They compete with the lines of this subject.

Thanks Sandra for your visit and comment!! The reason my sweet spot is dead on is... I never tilt the lens!!! I have not mastered that nor do I want to!! LOL...
But as I mentioned before, I think using just the 8mm macro converter really enhances this lens... for me anyway, since I love getting up close!
Keep playing with yours.... you will love it!!

Okay you've convinced me ... lol .. I always like to push the limits, but maybe with this I should listen and shoot with that lens not tilted.
