Hey pretty good Casil! I think if #1 had the contast of # 3 it would be perfect. Composition of 2 & 3 aren't as interesting to me dispite the cool water drops.

Hi Casil

I changed computers and your first example looks quite a bit better than it did on my laptop. I hope you don't mind but I experimented with your photo. Fist I turned the back ground black then dodged the petal edge highlights and water drops and burned the pedals midtones in areas where there wasn't much definition. Finally I used Unsharp Mask @ 40% It's more personal preference than being right or wrong. I hope this helps.

cheers

Okay. Personally, I *love* #3. The light on the water drops totally won me over! :p I also like the comp on #1 and the soft feel (at least to me) on #2. Nice job!

Casil ... knowing that in terms of photography you are as 'fresh' as those beautiful flowers you've shot there, I think you've done a magnificent job. Great exposure. C&C here really is just fine tuning at best.

Nice stuff!

Hi casil403,

I like these white flower shots too - especially with the water drops. I am really looking forward your next photos when you have the program Photoshop too :)
