Downcast

Comments welcome, as always.

There are so many beautiful postings of flowers on PN right now, Spring is in the air. I like your composition very much but for the flowers to really have "punch" they need to be brighter/whiter I think. I do like the DOF with the dark background with just a hint of color.

Hi, Susan,

 

Thanks for stopping by. If I remember correctly, I did try brightening these, but wasn't crazy about the result, since it seemed to almost make them transparent, so settled on this. And monitors make a big difference, too.

 

It rained here for 21 straight days, so was hard to photograph anything, but we've had a little sun the last couple of days. Maybe I can do better.

 

Cheers
