Sunny Sixteen

Played around a bit today using 'sunny 16 rule', I'm not too sure I like the outcome. It might be a tad to dark. Any comments and critiques welcome. For a basic definition of Sunny 16 Rule: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunny_16_rule

Here in the South Africa we herald the arrival of spring on 1 September. Happy Spring day!

I remember reading about the Sunny 16 in one of Katie's posts. But I agree, it's a bit dark for me. The focus however is fabulous, bringing out the detail of the filament thingies on the stalks.

enjoy spring! is this the real or almost real colour of the daisies? it doesn't seem dark to me, but it has vintage quality to it. i like it though.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great pov and a beautiful shot, Sally.

[Sue Wilde]

Maybe a little dark but there's plenty of light where it's needed

[Gosia]

Actually came good with not much light.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield Vikki, the colour is true to the plant. The flowers are this peachy pink colour that shimmers. The same bush also has yellow flowers and some that are more pink. The varietal name is something to do with frosted. I wrote it down somewhere so I wouldn't forget but I have!

I don't like "rules" but I sure like this photo!!!! FAV

[Dione Giorgio]

Wow, love the pov, love the colours, love the light. FAV.

[Bill Fenske]

Happy spring day to you too.

[Bill Fenske]

It doesn't look dark to me.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Actually I think I'd want a little more color in the blossoms but I don't think it looks dark. Pretty capture!

[Penny Price]

Great stuff - I didn't know about the sunny sixteen rule. Must try it.

Love the composition.
