    I really, really like #1. Not to say I don't like #2, but the light seems much more natural in #1.

    Well done!

    Thank you, they were both shot with a remoted flash on the right , #1 through a translucent umbrella, #2 reflecting back from the same translucent umbrella but with a reflective outer layer. These are part a learning exercise for using flash with flowers. Shooting through a translucent umbrella seems to give a softer shading, less specular reflection. The second one still has some specular on the buds below the open flowers and the backside of the open flower facing left.

    I like your work, Werner. It has that just right sharpened details on the main subject and that nice soft background. Even the composition is just right for me. A very nice work, indeed. thumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    Hi Jiro, Thanks, I'm waiting for spring to come and the grass to grow by itself. When is it going to happen?

    Soon enough. They always do on their own accord. :D
