I worked these Grape Hyacinths last evening alternating which of the three was the primary focal point while shooting and then played around with the square composition idea in post-processing. I kinda like what I came up with in this image but would like your opinion.
I really like the blue on green here. Except for the center (most oof one), I really chopped the stems but it feels like it works with the flowers' diagonal entry into the frame. Also how do you feel about the lower flower being the focal point?
Canon 30D; Sigma 150mm macro lens; Canon 430 EX Flash with LumiQuest Softbox; handheld with photographer prone on the ground. (Any idea how vulnerable you feel while prone on the ground and a Pit Bull Terrier pulling at the leash is coming straight at you? All the "don't worry, she's friendly" comments don't help a whole lot.)
