    We have a lot of balloon flowers coming into bloom right now. These are some of the white ones. I am never sure how to make them look their best.

    Very nice. Though I usually do not like square comps, this one works well, I like it!

    The flower shapes are different and you have a lot of nice detail. The light looks nice and soft and BG is pleasing. Good work.

    Some of the details in the whites are gone I am sure there was information in the original file so this should be an easy fix.

    Also as a minor issue and a personal pref I would remove the blue wedge in the BG.

    Hi Sid,

    Nice job. The flower is very interesting. Love the shape. I also thing that, for the most part, the whites look good. At least they do to me. One exception is in the center of the LL flower, The white looks a bit blown to me there. I also think the background looks really good.

    Sid, great choice of square comp since to go with the triangle of blooms. At the moment, the touch of blue in the UL is drawing too much of my attention. You may want to darken that, or clone some other green in there, so that you have a green & white dominant photo.

    Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them. Whites are a little tough for me and when I post processed this photo I blew the white on the LL flower. Fortunately it was easy to recover the detail. Thanks.
