Pamela, you most certainly have a special relationship with glads. your composition here is totally unique, i wish i could find the beauty in these gorgeous flowers that you do. on looking at this image it feels a wee bit flat to me, i think it needs a bit of warmth. i bet after seeing this on your computer you wished you had of got a bit more value out of that big fat juicy drop. a drop with lots of potential for a nice reflection. these are the kind of images i search this site for daily, it is just so hard to get a new take on flowers. which is exactly what you have here. well done!

This is such a beauty, Pamela. Your photograph is refreshing and very appealing. Nice work indeed !

Warm regards, Anne & Runar :-)

Roger, Thank you for the critique, always a pleasure to hear your thoughts. I struggled with this shoot...a very rainy day with funky light. I love these flowers and have figured out how to force the bulbs so I have them blooming in sequence on my deck  ;) You are right about the drop and while viewing on the computer I do wish I had somehow used this to a different advantage! As for the lighting....it was what it was and this is what I came away with...not a single shot with magic light but some very good compositions and what I felt were worthy...this is one of them.

Warm regards, Pamela

Anne & Runnar, Always happy to hear from you two. I appreciate that you took the time to comment. I like your newest picture posted on your home page...very cute. I hope you are enjoying some nice weather!

Warm regards, Pamela

Pamela,

  Beautiful image with wonderful lighting & color.  Love the raindrops & softness of the image.  Great job!!  Take care, Patsy

Pamela, i thought as much with the lighting, think i know your work well enough to know if there was good lighting to be had you would have found it. this image would be just sooooo gorgeous with a bit of warm light filtering through it. if this was my shot i would just be excited with the possibilities with your composition. the magic light will happen and hopefully you shall be there. to me it's how your interpreting these beauties which is so refreshing and interesting. look forward to next installment.

stay well

This is very beautiful, with the soft even light and the range of pink tones you have created a very peaceful image.  The more you look the more you see as this compelling composition has a lot of depth.

Roger,  Thank you for getting back to me, I knew you would read my answer. I did get some fabulous compositions but not very good lighting...that is the way it goes sometimes. I could do some heavy editing in post and possibly fake/fix this problem but ...not my style so they are what they are.

As always I am happy to hear from you and please know that I value your words...I have learned much from you and a few others here on PN. I will be looking for that next unique shot with you in mind soon!

Warmest regards, Pamela

Jim,  It is so good to hear from you...I have missed you on PN these past few months! I appreciate your words and feel inspired every time I see what you have posted! I hope you are well and back here for awhile!

Warmest regards, Pamela
