Couple of shots using the same Contax S-Planar 100/4

[Himself]

As usual hooked on the Contax PC bellows, f/11 for both of them, second one I was up on the ladder with the tripod and column extended at maximum.

The image of the Daisies! Breathtaking, and I love everything
about it: the color, the depth of field, and the bokeh. It is a shot that I
would LOVE to have made. It's really beautiful. Exceptional.

Thank you Larry! Much appreciated.
I love it too. It's the next candidate for a 24X 36 print.
The lens itself is amazing. It's quite cumbersome to work with, you know, tripod,bellows,etc, but it worths the pain.

The first one is perfect.
I find the second one a bit confused, subject is too messy and does not stand out in my opinion.

Thank you Orio!
You're right about the second. I used "dense" instead of "messy". It's a simple choice of words. But that's exactly the feature that made me photograph the branch.

I agree with Orio on the second image.

But....that's why we take more than one image at a time, right? For me, I
take maybe 100 shots, then pick out the good one. Of course, when
anyone asks, I just tell them I took that one snapshot! No, not
really, but sometimes it's tempting.

A 24x36 with that COLOR? Wow!

Who do you use for enlargements?

I use Aspen Creek because they seem to have a lot of specials going on.
I have also used MPix with very good luck.
Also, have used Adorama at times - they do a good job for the price.

I have a 30x40 of some red Poppies from Adorama over my fireplace,
and I must say it looks nice. Nothing like COLOR to make an
impression. And that's why I think your Daisies will print very well as
a large print.

When anyone desires a print, I use Aspen Creek because they
give outstanding results, and they do a little more than most
to ensure that the print is well done.

I use Frames by Mail for my matting and framing. Easy to order, with a
good web interface. They also take just about any kind of payment,
including PayPal.
