Or does it look better with more contrast?

[Julie Kenward]

Both images are very nice, Denise. I do like the pop of the second one except for the whites at the top of the pistols. I'd mask those off and leave the rest as intense as it is.

Beautiful DOF on this...it's gorgeous!

[denise ippolito]

Is this any better?

[Julie Kenward]

I like 'em all now! But yes, I do think the top of this last one is definitely better.

[Gus Cobos]

All three have their personal charms...I like the first one, soft, delicate, simple, lady like...Love it...good show lady Denise...:cool:

[Mike Moats]

Hey Denise, I pick door number three. Good details, color.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

A simple & an elegant composition. I liked the 3rd one - it has nice contrast & the colours pop.

[Ed Vatza]

I'd be happy with any one of the three, Denise. If pressured to decide, I'd probably go with #3. Good work.

[Stuart Frohm]

From an artistic perspective, I agree with Ed.
However, number 1 is delightful — especially if its more subdued orange is closer to what you saw at the greenhouse.
Bravo!
