Brought inside for a studio shot (box lined with white with a remote flash inside) with a background print. D5200 tripod 200mm f/13 1/200s ISO100. A little canvas added to sides and top, a blemish on a flower deleted.
Printing backgrounds led to fun with the printer--sent some out-of-focus shots of greenery to the local Costco by uploading to the website. Got the expected call back about whether I really wanted to print green photos. When I went to pick them up with my wife, her reaction to the backgrounds were that they weren't "blobby" enough. This amused the printer/clerk. My wife is correct, and I am having less homogeneous backgrounds (blobbier?) printed. Looking forward to playing with them, blobby and nonblobby.
Sounds like a lot of fun...and I have some of these growing in my backyard - perhaps a project for a rainy day. Good dof field to get all elements of the plant in focus. Nice variant in the BG print you used.
Costco called me concerning a white-on-white Snowy Owl, they thought it was a mistake having it so bright, but it was just perfect. Glad they do call, good service :-)
I like the lighting and the colours, the background is slightly varied in colour - I think that is important. I relate to a slight detail in the background. A nicely thought out image.
Very nicely done. I like your style. Here the slight merge of the 3rdand 4th blossoms (starting from the bottom) are a bit problematic.... Good luck with the blobbier stuff.
