Of late I'm into cropping as many images as possible into either squares or one over two's, 1/2's (1200x600 pixels). 612's. With the idea of doing portfolios of each format. I'm actually thinking this as I make most of my exposures. I.e. its going to be make much more skinny or the opposite. Are roses the king/queen of the flower kingdom? Seems to me to be the case looking here. And you may have noticed these are not in smell-or-ama. We don't get the smell zone of the electro magnetic spectrum. As I got into each area of this image closely I saw that each round bouquet here had its own level of bokeh not to be funny and those flowers of uniform shape and hue of defocus had its own distinctive way of strongly rendering. I don't get that with my 24 2.8. Or 28 2.8 or zooms. Makes me think when you throw some real money at a lens acquisition its maybe worth it. -- Mark William Rabiner Photographer http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/
