I'm puzzled. I think there's a need for sharpening. But more significantly, I wonder why we have such a narrow depth-of-field when shot at f8 at 55mm. Or is my eyesight going? Do you know where the focal point was?

Pants is just fine & I'm from Louisiana. I just bought my D5100 & I like to take pics from a different perspectives so sorry if it seems sub-par Donald....

I could see this photo as a high key B & W.

Welcome to CiC, Pants. Pants?

Hi Pants,

no image is "sub par" and i very much doubt Donald was saying this, This image has the potential to work but i think we are confused as to what end you are trying to achieve.

As is the image doesnt appeal to me, but if as Viana says you were to covert it to B&W and blow out the background it might transform it, you might have to do some other stuff such as sharpening, contrast and black adjustments to give it some punch.

Maybe Viana will have a go for you, shes much better at PP than me im just learning.....

I would be happy to do the rose in high key. Think it would look super. However, I need a larger photo. This one only has 25KB and will pixelate.
