Three Sisters

Raymond: Welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet and thanks for a fine first post here. This is a lovely trio and you've captured them superbly. I especially like the light on the blooms and your DOF choice. My only tiny 1¢ nit is the OOF flower in the URC. I might try to add a mild vignette to darken it just a bit but this works very well for me as is. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more. >=))>

Hi Raymond, ...indeed... a fine shot. Glad to have a new voice and creative 'eye'. I like the light treatment which conveys beams reaching the individual blossoms. Glowing. Funny how the 105mm dof is so shallow even at f9 for this distance. The right flower being a smidge softer and further from lens...than the other two. Really like the dark blur b/g. Bill F brings up good idea about urc. I do like the curls and shadows on the center flwr. Well done.

I like the color, comp, and nice lighting. I agree about darkening the flower in the urc and the leaf below it to bring even more prominence to the trio.

Beautiful light and strong composition Raymond. I like the bg a lot with the exception of the rose that Bill noted and I agree that darkening it would improve the image for my tastes. Welcome to the gallery.

Gotta love that 105! So cool when in its macro mode. This shot is a fine example of putting it to great use with an artistic eye for these roses. The color and lighting look so good. Too bad a beam of light caught the urc; OTOH, I like the leaf that points back to the flowers, as if to encourage us not to go too far afield of this lovely trio.

Thank you all for your kind comments and excellent suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time to look and especially providing encouragement. Thanks again.

Lovely, moody image, Raymond, and the petals are superbly rendered. And welcome to Flora !

Hi Raymond Beautifully seen and captured. the light, detail and color are superb.
