Not sure if these will appeal, I found them quite interesting as an off camera flash lighting experiment.

#1 - Flash from below and left shooting up into the petals of the flowers. The see thru effect of the overlapping petals adds quite a nice quality to this shot for me.

#2 - The leading, in focus petals are rendered close to shadow here, with just enough colour definition to make them part of the arrangement. I liked the play of bright white, very dark, and then the normal tones of the other petals behind.

    I have to admit Kevin, I prefer your lighter pastel coloured images than these.

    These are not awful by any means, the darker tones and shadows are not as appealing as brighter, warm and pastel coloured flower shots.

    Thank you for sharing your images, I always enjoy your many posts Kevin.
