Flowers 8

One more from my flower shoot a week ago. It is not exactly most landscapers cup of tea, but I had a great time and was extremely happy with the results.

Beautiful, Harley! This is motivating me to do some B&W.

Very nice. If I had a nit, it would be that the two flowers on the left are more in focus the two on the right.

Harley,

Another excellent floral still-life. I liked the previous version better, but this is still excellent in it's own right. One subtle thing that I notice here is the darkness/fall-off of the stem at the bottom of the frame. Was this from some processing, or just natural fall-off of the light. Regardless, I think that little element really makes for an overall impact to the presentation.
If I had a nit it would be along the lines of Jason's comments, but it's not a big deal.

What was the lighting here? Just window lighting? Any reflectors for fill? Just curious, but I think the lighting setup for both images is right on.

I'd say head over to the grocery store and pick up some bell peppers or something...

Great work Harley.

Another wonderfully captured arrangement here, Harley.

I'm not big on flower portraits, Harley, but this is technically well done. I wonder how this'd look with a Verito?

love the high key petals on the black bg!

Pretty simple and sweet.

Harley,

I have to agree with Jason on the focus. Maybe add a littel gaussian blur to the buds on the left to balance it.

Harley,
Very well executed. The black BG makes for a very compelling image. Best Regards.
