    Flowers what is happening to me?

    This is another image that I took on Monday down at the neighbour's flowerbed. Think I will go down there on Wednesday early to catch the soft light of sunrise.

    Cheers: Allan

    Great job on the exposure of the foreground petals, Allan! Hope your sunrise shot turns out about the same for them.

    Um, what are the flowers, duh?

    Ted all I know is that they are a Lily of some sort, and this lady has lots of different ones.

    Great colors again Allan The orange flowers look so lively and sharp. I would try reducing the brightness in purples a bit as they distract and make the composition busy.

    Alan - next time, try to shoot them backlit. I find that this usually is the best way to shoot flowers and you get wonderful interplay between the parts of the flower and the translucence of the petais.

    I think they look very much like tiger lily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium_lancifolium

    Try and separate the blooms from the purple background.

    Blooms look better if separated from a busy background.
