DSS #66 - Green

Kinkajou

I went to the farmers' market yesterday and got some things to start my garden with and decided to try for some green shots before planting. I used a lensbaby and bounced on-camera flash in a very low-lit room.

Thoughts?

2.


3. These last two are very similar but I can't decide which one is better

Thanks for looking! C&C appreciated

I really like #2 but it seems a little flat against a light background IMHO. Maybe boost the contrast a little to bring out the greens.

#2. Mmmmmm, Peppers.

I like #1 and 3.
#1 because it's a little different--I like the light and how they work with the lensbaby.

Both shots need a little something though.

Also I'd go with #1 over the rest because I think there will be lots and lots of plant shots and the lights make this one a little different. It has possibilities, but it's not there yet. What if the lights were behind the plant?
Just an idea.

Good idea, but they seem too soft for me. I'd bump up the shutter speed somehow. I think it would also benefit from more color contrast (aesthetically, not technically).

Thanks a lot for the comments, guys. I had a reshoot a couple days ago, but inspiration had skipped town and I didn't come up with anything I was satisfied with. I've entered the shot below (#1 with some changes) and will keep my eyes open in case inspiration ever decides to come back from what must be a lovely beach vacation.



Thanks again for taking the time to comment; it is appreciated

I like the last one best. - What about a red pepper (dry maybe), near to the plant?
