Pastels

I wanted some these colors with the sky, so I practically strained my shoulder holding them up to get the shot. What I go through to get good shots is worrisome. Taken of the resulting film print.

The colors are nice. The oof red flower is distracting to me. It really needed to have both blowers in focus.

Yeah I know. I wasn't happy about it either, but you can only hold a weed above your head for so long before the shoulder gives out. I can't tell you how much I cussed trying to get that shot.

I admire your tenacity Shirley. That blue sky is very nice. I wish the red bloom wasn't clipped and there do appear to be a few highlights that are overexposed. Great colors though.

Shirley: I probably shoot 75-80% verticals but this looks to me like a horizontal comp would be more appropriate. Keeps you from clipping the flower on the left and eliminates some of the open space on the top. I do like the color palette. >=))>
