Hi Mike,

Love the arrangement and composition.

Mike, Lovely colors and a neat arrangement. It gives a 3-D feel in spite of the soft light. Did you use any flash here? TFS.

regards,
ramesh

[Mike Moats]

Hey Ramesh, this was shot indoor under florescent lighting, and no flash. Thanks

[Danny J Brown]

The flowers have a metallic look that is very compelling and the soft colors are nice as well. I especially like the unusual green color.

[Stu Bowie]

Hey Mike, great natural light, which in turn has brought out the natural colours. Well captured.

[Anita Bower]

I like how you set them up, with the lower flowers forming a frame. Gerbers are such fabulous flowers to photograph. Unusual to see you put the flower right in the center--but it is a composition I like.

[Mike Moats]

Hey Anita, I probably should have explain a little more about my thoughts on the set-up. it's more of a symetrical image, and designed to look set-up, which is not what appears in our usual natural in nature shots. Thanks
