[Mike Buckley]

Too late. But thank you!

[Wavelength]

Awesome; please always consult Mike before making any self assessment

[bnnrcn]

Very nice

[Stagecoach]

Now that's better William. How are you lighting them?

[FrankMi]

I like the way the background complements the flower's coloring! Nice!

[chauncey]

How are you lighting them

It's terribly complicated Grahame...I park them on the kitchen floor that has morning light blasting through the patio door.

[Mike Buckley]

morning light blasting through the patio door.

Does that door have material that is diffusing the light? Is something else diffusing the light? Are the flowers in a part of the room that has no direct light in the area and instead is subject only to reflected light? Or is it all of the above?

Whatever it is, it's great light for the flowers and very sharp of you to notice that characteristic.

[John 2]

Nice complimentary colour to the BG. Nice shot on all counts.

[chauncey]

Living in Michigan we are accustomed to having cloud cover which does diffuse the light and, having white tile floors tends to give a lot of reflected light. I have discovered that clouds will screw-up the stacking process...tends to alter the exposures, gotta compensate in PP.

[Mike Buckley]

Ahem. Light being diffused by clouds isn't "blasting" anywhere, much less through a doorway.

Picky, picky, Mr. Buckley.

[Mike Buckley]

Picky, picky, Mr. Buckley.

Now that Chauncey has already voted, I can be that way. On the other hand, I'm gonna have hell to pay next month.

[jstp]

Very nic Chauncey, the background colouring goes perfectly and artistically I find it very good
