Mini Bouquet

Gallery: FloraPosted August 15, 20071,806 views23 comments

Hi all.

When I opened this first, my wife said 'Ahhh...how sweet'. After we both looked at it more, we realized that there was more to like than just the little huddle of blooms.

Any an all thoughts appreciated on this one. Please be honest.

Nathan,

A very sweet, gentle flower with an interesting DOF. I like the upper blossom being OOF.
And I find the composition quite attractive.

This is lovely, Nathan. The light is just right and I like the grouping of the daisies. Only nit and it's VERY minor...the LLC seems a tad dark compared to the rest of the image. I'd dodge it ever so slightly to match the rest of the lovely soft feel to this beautiful image. Nathan, you are doing some outstanding work.

Very nice. I love the dreamy look of this one. I also learned a new technique, crammin. I am anxious to try this.

I am not sure of what you mean by cramming, but I love the soft delicate feel to this image. The colors of the flowers are perfectly complimented by the green of the BG. A wonderful image, Nathan.
