Welcome Alzahra When I click on the thumbnail the image is not loaded and I can't see it. It might be a good idea to upload it through tinypic.

I'm sure mods will help you about it.

This flower looks just like the Jasmine I was looking at in my local garden centre an hour ago!

Interesting and creative approach. You are using the hands to frame the flowers.

If it were my shot, I would probably have done a tighter crop and eliminated some of the material on the left and on the top to make the hands look a bit more frame like. The bright spots (i.e. the flowers) draw the viewer's attention and I might have seen what the image looks like with just the flowers framed by the hands (i.e. plucked some of the others off).

I probably would have taken pictures with the hands in various configurations, perhaps a bit more open, to see how that works visually. I would have frame the shot so that the grey areas on the top right would have been avoided and solely had the green from the leaves, the white from the flowers and the hands in the shot.

Hi AlZahra - and welcome to the CiC forums from me.

This certainly is an interesting concept and worth a re-shoot if you can get (my guess) your daughter, to work with you on the ideas Manfred has suggested.

As Manfred has said, try to exclude everything that is not part of the primary composition of hands, flowers (inside hands only) and leaves.


I note that the EXIF data says; Nikon D3200 at 50mm, 1/60s, f/4 at ISO 500.

If possible, I'd suggest you re-shoot in brighter light (though not sunlit), with this you might try to;
increase aperture number (say to f/11) - to gain more Depth of Field (DoF)
increase the shutter speed (to 1/200s or more) - to reduce risk of camera shake and/or subject movement

I hope that helps, Dave

Hi AlZahra , yes I can see the image now I too would suggest a tighter crop and placing the hands to look as if the flowers are standing in one's palm might be a good idea if you go there for reshooting.

Nice effort.

welcome to the club. If you can find a way to emphasize the hands and the flowers within them it might help?
