So, I mentioned in another thread that I find mishele's flowers highly inspirational, but I don't want to just "copy" her technique and call that a success. Still, there is something in her floral photos that draws me and has helped to develop my own vision for some slightly unusual floral shots.
This is my first attempt. I know what I am "seeing" in my head for these shots, and this isn't quite it yet. But I liked this anyway, and thought I'd share.
The first photo is "nearly" SOOC. Very few adjustments to the raw file, but I did do some cropping. In retrospect, I wish I'd changed the white balance a little, but I only decided that after I *did* change it for some of the "revised" versions.
The other three are all different versions of the first.
I'd be interested to know if there is a version you prefer, and why. I'd also be interested to know what YOU might have done with the "original" (Photo 1)--feel free to post up your own edit of the original if you'd like, just to see how one photo might be interpreted in a variety of different ways.
Overall, I'm pleased with the results--but it still isn't quite the vision in my head, and I'm not yet entirely sure what I'm missing.
