Hibiscus

Shot this picture of Hibiscus that flowered in my garden.Was testing out a Kodak Z8612 IS. Shot in AF mode.

Hi Murugan,

This image lacks sharpness. Still further the BG is very cluttered. You need to think about the BG before you photograph.

Let me use this opportunity to shamelessly show off my garden portraits:

Apana,

Thanks for pointing out. I just picked this image and posted hoping for comments. I have not yet begun to be a beginner in photography so all your comments will be helpful.Will check the link you have posted.

Thanks,

Hi Murugan,

While using AF mode, I think the focussing point was not properly selected so the image is lacking sharpness.
You can check the following link posted by Sabyasachi about AF and MF which gives some good pointers for focusing http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519

Hibiscus rosasinensis is not a wild species. ;)
