I was a little disappointed this flower wasn't as sharp as I'd hoped. Technical help anyone? f4.8 1/250

Not sure what you did but its perfect for the ETSOOI challenge :) Looks like a painting.

@madeinnl I will do that. I haven’t started doing the challenges yet so thanks for the positivity

maybe a faster shutter speed would help? have you done a lot of processing on it? the challenges can really be fun and ETSOOI is for photos that have had a lot of editing done to them. I love the colours in this!

@koalagardens not that much editing, it’s floating in a pool which gives the soft background. I’ll look for a shot that I’ve messed around with more

@peta_m or take this shot and start to mess with it - since it is already not as sharp as you wanted you could use oil painting filters or something even more dreamy and see where it goes :)

@koalagardens sounds like fun I’ll try it :)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

make sure you have fun at it then - I'll be looking out for what you come up with :)
