Softly does it!

I really love the first one Sharon, and the third isn't bad either.

I'm afraid I can't see past the blown area on the second though.

Love the subtle colours, just as the thread title says.

[Donald]

That is really a very lovely image.

The others are fine (I agree with Dave re the blown bit), but this one, for me, really hits the bulls-eye. The subtlety of tone; the beauty of the lines; the sublime texture of the petals.

Sublime.

Thank you Donald and Dave.

I have no idea where the 'three shot' thingy came from ..with flowers it is almost like you didn't try if you can't produce some kind of tripych.

I know the first one has it..thank you for confirming it.

Lovely photos Sharon

[Ollokot]

The first one is indeed SUBLIME.

I like it too Sharon, lovely subtle lighting. Also the gradual loss of focus towards the edges works very well I think.

[Daisy Mae]

you guys are so very kind. xx

My favourite flower shooter....

Well done as usual.

[jeeperman]

Very nicely done. That first one is beautiful. If it were not for the blown area mention in the second...it well could be a favorite.

Beautiful shots, Sharon. I love the third image.

[Vicky]

Oh my,,,do like!! Love the creamy look!

[mstrozewski]

I like the 3rd one...it's lovely. nice composition and focus ont he tiny stems. love the color, kind of vintage/retro

[Ricco]

Sharon - love them but personnally, the border / vignette on the 1st I think detracts from an otherwise great shot. The third one for me is my preferred. I quite enjoy these types of shots that play with the depth of field.

[Jack R Mann]

Great shots love them all, can't wait until spring love shooting flowers!

[Sahil]

Wow... Love the soft look & the tones of the picture.

[Maritimer1]

Beautiful. You can almost feel a buttery softness. The contrast of the second one really appeals to me, but they're all lovely.

[Daisy Mae]

Thank so much everyone. Not been too well this week so haven't seen them until now.
