Spring Is Here

"I either need a larger scanner for long stems or I need to use smaller flowers"

Or you could try adding some black canvas. This is beautiful, and some additional black canvas all around would make this image a winner. I also find the white highlights a little bright and uneven, but the blown highlights give this sort of a nice, painterly look. I like the arrangement and the straw ribbon very much.

Barbara: I like your subjects and the overall execution. The tight crop is my only less than 1¢ nit. Well done.>=))>

Realestate, it's all about realestate with scanning isn't Barbara? I feel I have to go around with a piece of 8.5 x11 paper to see what will fit/work!! A nice study in Spring blooms and textures. I like the whites and detail in the pear blossoms. I find yellows to be a problem with scanning. It's hard to get the right hue with the light being so bright.

Barbara, I love all your work, and you continue to delight me with your flowers....But not this time. IMO, you tried to pack in too much detail. a trio of three or cluster of a few more would have suited my taste better. But, that is only my opinion.

I , too noticed the yellow cast right away...also, on my screen, the whites look blown. You did not post a large version, so I really cannot tell on my monitor. Sorry for the very critical review.

This is the only photo of yours, that I do not like! Guess there has to be one

Lovely work Barbara this really does say spring in all it's glory !

Thanks everyone for your feedback. This gallery and your comments continue to inspire me on this journey of scanner art. I appreciate all your comments. More to come.
