They seem to be Mexican Petunia to me. I like how you arranged them in a line, Sally. Vignette helps put the spot light on the blooms.

Sally, this photo presents wonderful colors, highlights of light and shadows and therefore nice contrast. Well separated from BG. Nicely done. Would like to see a larger version. :smile:

Sally:
Nice arrangement of these triplet. The light seem a little harsh and the use of a difuser may help reduce the glare.

I like the three overlapping in a row Sally, bright light but well managed.
I agree with Ram, the vignetting works nicely for this one.
Well done :toast:

Thanks for the feedback all, I am going to go in and see if I can work with the brightness on the blooms and blur more of he back ground.. what caught myt eye was that they were all lined up in a row like this........... isn't that cute!

reposting .. I have worked to take some of the "glare" from the blooms.. these caught my eye originally because the 3 were right together like this.. I did not have a diffuser with me,, and didn't think fast enough to create one, which I certainly probably could have done. thanks for the feedback. :wavey:

Both are well done Sally. I think I lean towards the second because of the light and color. Both are well done in my opinion.

Nice choice to vignette this little group, Sally - I like the high contrast look this helps produce
