I have been learning the capabilities of the Olympus E-1 with a 14-54mm lens. I really like the close focusing abilities and the results in low light. These were all shot in jpg, drop shadow frame and signature in CS2.

beautiful ...

Nicely done. That Oly seems to be a very capable camera.

Just a few comments:

#1 is absolutely Grand

#2 I would like to see a different angle/composition rather than just centering the Clemantis pod.

#3 Very nice contrast between the rich and deep green and the white flowers. Wish the dragonfly was one of those bright red guys... I'd crop down a bit from the top to the start of the white flower cluster.

#4 Wonderful contrast, great colors ... centering isn't as bothersome as in #2 ... maybe because of the tighter crop ... but still a detail to think about.

I really enjoyed these shots ... thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your suggestions.

#2 Re-cropped, I think I lost sight of the parts looking at the whole

Thanks Gary,
I think the first version had too much negative space and the centering suspened the image in space. The second crop is better because it draws the eye into the image and draws attention to the details of the flower.
Visited your site and love the cropping of the statue faces, gave me something else to think about. I learned from this that there are many ways to see the same thing, the trick is what to see.

Keep Focused

That Oly is nice I'm a sucker for flower shots especially #1.
