    I'd use some fill flash or a reflector to get more light on the girl's face. And maybe shoot at dusk so the skies are moody. I love the idea and location though!

    Texas BlueBonnets
    I totally agree! More light on her face. It was an impromtu shoot though. We were on our way home from my daughter's dance class, and the flowers were lining a country road so I pulled over. All I had was my canon digital rebel xti, and did not have my external flash :(. It wasn't planned, but I still love them. :D
    Thanks for the advise:ivar

    Wait a minute. I'm originally from Texas. Isn't it ILLEGAL to pick the Bluebonnets? :D hehe

    In any case, love the first 2, mostly due to the lighting (warm) and poses, and agree with the others about getting more light on her face, but what can you do spur-of-the-moment?

    They are fine as-is, but maybe editing could help some how?

    What lens did you use?

    Thanks guys, I love the pics as well, it's hard to get flowers before they're mowed over.
