A few flowers

I wish I had noticed the scar on the lower petal before I had shot this.

Would love C&C on these. Both taken with off-camera flash.

I thought your flowers could use a little boost
I just raised the highlights and lowered the shadows
a little

 

[KrisztinaK]

You're absoltely right. Thank you.
Sometimes you don't see it until someone shows you.
How's this re-do for the tulip?

 

[MiFleur]

I love what you did with the tulip!
It is my favorite of the two.

 

[Rick58]

Very nice!

The tulip is very nicely done. As for the scars, some imperfections add character, which these seem to do, at least for me. I'd like to see the tulip on a dark background.

 

[KrisztinaK]

Thank you Ken. I will try that next time I bring some home.

Too much focus dropoff on the yellow guys. Tulips almost always shoot better on either black or a dark complement - in this case a deep forest green would also work nicely.

Thank you ceeboy.
