I liked the color of these indoor flowers. I captured this image during the summer in the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin Ireland

Lovely lighting on these flowers, Tony, with some nice detail in the centres and good control of the leaf highlights. Maybe the flowers might have been a touch higher, and possibly even centred in the frame ( but I don't know what else that would have let into view !! ).

Very pretty blooms and nice backlighting, Tony. The colors are very nice too. I am not completely sold on the BG, but it is not a shot killer for me either.

I like the semi-circle arrangement of the flowers, the rich hues and the simple shape of them. The BG is a little busy, but I suspect you shot as wide open as you could.

Nothing make flowers beautiful as the back light. Transparencies and pastel colors are splendid.
Take care.

Tony: Wonderful subjects and a fine exposure. I'm OK with the BG but it does not add interest and so I would crop it away aggressively to bring much more emphasis to the flowers. >=))>
