two take's, two times

[JustJazzie]

I spent some time messing about with my macro lens. I got two of each flower that I was relatively satisfied with. 1&2 were taken in the studio with my huge soft box and a reflector. 3&4 were lit with ambient window light.

Critique and suggestions are always appreciated! (as well as information on flower species, I have no idea what these are.)


1)

2)

3)

4)

I like 1 and 3 best. 2 has flat lighting and 4 has an unoriginal perspective. I like the angle of the photo on 3 and I like the light in 1. Although I would tone the highlights down just a hair in 1.
Just my 2 cents YMMV.

I really like 1 and 3, also......come to think of it, I also like 4....

One and three, for me; I like the angles.

Nice job, BTW.

Yeah, I had the same instinct on the highlights. Unfortunately I have recovered them the best I can already.

Thank you!

Thanks, SnowBear! Glad to hear you liked them!

3 and 4 for me, I like the lighting and the angles.

Ok, so before I comment, were any spiders harmed in the making of these photos?

Lol

I like 3 the best.

No spiders, but the flowers ended up dying shortly after. I'm not sure if it was coincidence, or if I had a part in that. ;-)

Yup. It's #3 for me, too

The fiend of foliage strikes again!

Thanks! I'm thinking of hanging it in my bathroom with purple walls.
