Deep Dive 1

Hi all.

What does a pfloral photographer do in the winter, when there is nothing to shoot outside, and he does not want to shoot inside? He goes through all of the photos from the last year and culls the poor ones from the lot. I find that once there is less emotional attachment, then I can do a bit better at deciding which ones to keep and which ones to get rid of.

I 'developed' several photos from last season. This is one that I liked. I have never planted gerberas outside, since that is one of my 'go-to' flowers to shoot inside, but I was glad that I planted them last year. Shooting them out in natural light with different backgrounds was enjoyable.

Any and all thoughts appreciated (please be honest with me).

I like this Nathan. Great plane of focus and composition pull this together for me.

Nicely taken and well composed, Nathan. The large OOF blob at the LLC is a bit problematic to me: I wish it were smaller. Others would probably disagree with me.
