The late evening sunlight has been lighting up these blossoms for the last couple of

weeks and I've been trying to capture this light. This is the best attempt so far. I

exposed for the highlights to emphasise the backlighting (especially on the stalks)

and keep the background dark and detail minimal. Would like to get some critique on

this one (especially from any flower experts out there). Thx.

Nice Shot!

Beautiful light. I love the transparency of the petals.

 

Peace, C.

Daryl, You don't need a flower expert to tell you that you've got a winner here! Excellent composition in the placement of all the blooms & buds and the diagonals of their stems. Backlighting sets this one apart from the ordinary causing the translucent petals to just seem to glow with colour and nicely rim lighting the buds and stems. You can safely move on to other subjects now that you've aced this one :) Your patience has paid off in spades. Best, LM.

Beautiful photo.

Thanks for commenting guys. Len, appreciate the detailed analysis. I set out to address all of the points you highlighted when I took this (which makes a change!) so it's nice to see that noted. I think I might be making progress with flower photography :)
