28february

Flash of red February week 4. I seem to be alternating high key and low key this week, so tried a low key shot today. Did not get the exact results I wanted; thinking perhaps macro lens was the wrong choice...the learning curve continues!

I like your shot. I've had a heck of a time with the high-key-low-key week! Maybe next year :)

Oh I like it Amy!

I’m new to it also. This looks like what I think is low key. It’s nicely done and I like the comp. You also have a very nice FOR month.

Nice low key

Pretty locket. It brings out the pattern on it well and I like that we can see the photo inside.

Very nicely done

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful subject and capture

I like the effect very much. I think it's nearly a perfect shot. Though my eye seems to want the entire heart in focus. I love the way the background goes black and out of focus. Still a fav.

@mbrutus thank you for the kind comments. And helpful, as you pinpointed the heart not quite all in focus and that was what was nagging at me. Gave it a lot of thought and realized that I have settled in to shooting in aperture priority or shutter priority, when in these situations full manual allows for the control needed to get the details. Used manual setting for my “eggs” photo (march 5) and had better success. Your time to comment is appreciated!
