BG is white foam core. Shot indoors with mostly natural window light.

Hey Ken,
I think the blooms and bud you chose work very nicely together! Perhaps a touch more stem and left....but as like tight comps.....this works for me very well as presented! The sharpness and details really come through and I'd bet this would also look great with the black BG.
Great job on this controlling and balancing the light!

Hi Ken, Very "illustrative" with your controlled balance of natural and flash lighting. Really shows off beautiful bloom! Yes, black BG could be interesting. I like the progression of bud sizes.

Lovely high key, illustration like with great colors. Good use of DOF.

I'm a big fan of high key images and this is a good one !!! Particularly like the dof coverage !! Sweet !!

[Adrian David]

Beautiful colors and details.I really like the composition.

[Julie Kenward]

So nicely done, Ken! You're really getting to be outstanding at these high key images! I agree with Roman that a little more stem at the bottom would have been nice but it's certainly not a deal breaker. I love the composition and how everything ended up in focus. So well done!!!:D

Ken: you are doing some wonderful work these days! Am enjoying your flower portraits. Lovely composition--I especially like those buds on the right. Beautiful!
