Hi Joe. This is beautiful! I love the soft light, the comp, and the background. Great job getting the three flowers and 2 buds within the DOF. Very well done.

Hey Joe, this 3 flower comp was handled very well....getting all 3 in focus at f5.6 is a real surprise! The comp is fantastic! The BG looks good as is but I think I might light it better if it were somewhat evened out....not perfectly even, just enough to lighten the darker areas a bit. The flowers look just a touch bright so toning them down, maybe with SH should bring out more detail. Overall this was very well done! What camera did you use?

[Ed Cordes]

Good job on the comp. These are so hard to do with. The natural light has produced a rather warm color on the petals. I wonder if it would look OK a bit whiter?

[Allen Sparks]

just gorgeous. love the light and tones. wonderful composition.

Beautiful image! Gorgeous warm tones. Graceful curve of the stem with the front flowers in focus. Well done!! Nice light. Using natural light gives this a beautiful look.

Ken made some good suggestions about evening out the bg tones.

Love work!!!
