Excellent capture of these pretty flowers. Three is always good. I would have preferred a comp w/o the cut off flowers in the LLC, but maybe it wasn't possible to isolate just the three.

Richard, I really like the light captured on the flowers. The DOF is perfect for the comp. Only nit is the partial blooms along the bottom edge of the frame are a little distracting.

I agree with the other comments, perhaps a tighter crop could help.

Richard: I agree with the suggestions regarding a tighter crop around the three complete blooms and actually see a nice comp just including the two main flowers. I do like the lighting. >=))>

Beautiful capture of the main flowers, Richard. Like Scott I would have liked to see the LLC flower cut off if possible, but this remains a lovely habitat image.

This is going to fit great in your work at this place. Ditto on the tighter crop of the two blooms. Too many oof elements around the edges.

I also like the idea of a tighter crop Richard but that aside the whites are beautiful as is the light. Outstanding exposure and a fine image for my tastes.

Richard:
The 3 blooms are very nicely exposed and beautiful. Well done.

Your triple bloom subjects are lovely, great job exposing the whites. I see a tighter 2:3 crop, removing a good portion of the bottom below the lowest bloom to remove some of the distracting elements and some off the top. Have fun shooting spring color Richard.
