    Tip when shooting flowers well a tip in general really. Always have an odd number of flowers. Take a close look @ any floral or window display always an odd number & always in a triangle form.

    Oh my
    That red water is scary!!!rolleyes1.gif

    Is the background white? Or are you using a tinted one?

    Also the flowers should probably have longer stems or a shorter vase?

    Well, it's mid March, this cold old winter weather can't last too much longer can it? Wishing warmer weather your way.
