Went For A Walk In The Park

Pentax K-1 and SMC Pentax-A 35-105mm f/4 Macro. I have more but this is my favorite.

Nicely exposed.

I like the composition. That twig on the left bothers me but not as much...

Hi Steve,

If this were mine, I'd clone out, or blur and darken a bit, that sharp leaf top left - I would also crop to lose the left side of frame from that highlight on the background twig. I might even try a subtle vignette to reduce the brightness of the foliage top right.

HTH, Dave

Thank you John, Izzie, and Dave. I agree with your comments. My purpose in this shot was to post the entire image with minimal processing and no noise reduction. From here I will post PP'd images.

Hey Steve, I'd like to see you make use of the Macro portion of your lens and get a closeup of those pink buds.
I go for minimal processing too.

Nice light. I would maybe choose a closer crop of the part of the plant that is hanging down in the photo. The rest of the plant is a little distracting, but otherwise a nice shot.

Thanks Alan and Chris. I will crop the image and post it. This was near MFD with this lens.
