You are plenty right. Those were far inside a bush so much that I had to hand hold at arm's length with the e-m1 and 12-40 f2.8. This comes from the best framed shot I could get. Even then the rightmost flower was already cropped. The rest was fine but awkward looking. I tried to save it by cropping even closer but always felt that it was all too daring. So, yes, I should be more patient and take all the step to get the best composed, best lighted and sharpest photos. As Bob noted, my photos are all over the place. I don't know why I have that nervous style. It always seems that there are too many opportunities around for what I can do.Some interesting stuff in here. Some comments below on the ones I think are best from this set. I think some more care with composition is called for
Unusual flowers and they make for a nice picture. I think you could have done better with the framing though as you've chopped some of the flowers at the edges of the frame - shame. Maybe better to consider whether to take a wider shot if that's possible.
Yes, I could have framed wider, indeed I did: here cropped using the Golden Ratio. Since I sat at the side I had part of the right balcony in the shot, hence the tight framing at 3:2 ratio in the first version to take it out of the photo.
compared to... Next time I'll sit dead centre.
Right. I really need to make sure that my shot encompasses all that I need for a complete composition.
Many thanks Yaelle. I come back with photos that will take into account all your considered comments.
