Several From The Garden

[rydeboyz]

Just been seeing what's new and colourful in the garden today and this is what I found:

Welsh Poppy



Daisy



Spanish Bluebells



Forget-Me-Nots



Berberis



Arisaema Costatum (Bizarre!)



The enemies taking shelter



Sorry if there are too many, I couldn't help myself! It was pretty windy too by the way.

A lot of colourful pics,i like em' especially the forget-me-nots

I also think that the forget-me-nots is the nicest shot. I think the Spanish bluebell shot could be cropped a bit more to emphasise the bloom in focus - but I would not argue the point that strongly.

The Daisy and Forget-me-not are the best in my opinion.

Cheers guys.. I'll have to look into cropping as I haven't tried it before. Should I be worried about losing the original ratio of the picture?

Should I be worried about losing the original ratio of the picture?

That depends on what you use to crop, PSE 5 or 6 (amd maybe earlier versions) allow you to maintain the original shot's ratio. But sometimes you are better off using a free crop, cropping does not alter ratio - you jsut cut to the square or rectangle that you feel best suits the subject matter. I you have any concerns, make back-ups frist.
