Ooooo, Darren! Maybe you should seriousy get into the flower department. This is great! I love frames full of flowers like this. The detail is good and made more interesting by the selective focus (IMO). The splashes of color amid the white is wonderful. Some of the flowers on the left are ambiguous-- not sharp, not oof enough. Perhaps the image could stand a crop off the left to make the whole image even more striking? Let's see some more.

Hi Darren, I like the overall composition. Contrast-wise, it looks a little dull, perhaps try for a cleaner white for the flowers (either by different lighting conditions or flash, or postprocessing).

Swami,

the whites on my screen are very clean and white. I am getting lots of contrast and punch with the redish color in the middle of the bloom.....

could be my monitor, could be yours, who knows!!!

thanks for the advice!

I don't see them as very white either, Darren. I see them as sort of cyan/greenish. Here's one I took out at the Deschutes the other day. They look white to me.

Mark, thanks for the comparison. I see your flowers much more white then mine but a bit on the yellow side......here is a repost let me know if this looks better...

thanks again!!!

Darren

Here is my interpretation, using only LightRoom.
