This image represents a dilemma of a sort that I'm facing with my flower photography.
On the one hand, I seem to be making more images, whilst fewer of them make the grade for posting here. This could be for one of a number of reasons. Perhaps my standards have risen. Or maybe I'm experimenting more and hence failing more often. Or it could be that I'm just spreading myself too thinly, not concentrating enough on each image.
Or maybe its because I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve. This image, for example, is fine as it stands, but the whole process of opening up the lens and making something impressionistic seems just a bit too facile. On the other hand, I could have produced a nice clean image, which would have been too straight, a record shot with any obvious aesthetic qualities, despite being monochrome.
Oh well, never mind. I've posted images that I'm not completely happy with before and no doubt I will again. But I could really do with sorting out what I'm doing and why.
