It's pretty, but a bit boring. Focus seems a bit soft and the red slash in the background is distracting.
>> NatureGuy !se3A3TwzdY
Soft focus is soft. No offense these are pretty dull. There's millions of flower photos out there you're competing with, you have to try harder with them. Do something different with your flower photos or find a way to change the subject slightly. Like let's say find a flower with a spider's web built onto it and shoot that instead of just any old flower.

Thanks for the comment, i know its boring.
Just testing the lens out really. These are my first 2 shots with the new lens. :)
Wait a few days...the weekend is here!

Woo I'll add some of my own generic flower shots with the 105mm VR as well! (I assume you have the VR version)

OP why is the quality of the 2nd shot so shitty?
Was it really underexposed originally or something?

Anyway, take moar. These are generic as crap.

Oh god, I can't believe he actually posted his tripcode on his DA page to prove he's the "real" beethy. He provides endless hours of amusement.
