Porch roses

[chauncey]

I don't shoot flowers in situ very often...venturing onto my front porch though, I could handle that.
First one has a shallow DOF...second one a bit more.





I'm not liking the center shadow in the first one.

I like the second one best. I agree with you about the shadow in the first. But there's lots of nice detail in the second and a nice background too even though more of it shows.

Nicely done, I like the second also, getting it out of the shadows really work for this subject.

Bill, Very nice!

I was wondering about doing the same thing, as I do, as of late, tend to shoot black background with flowers.

#2 for me too, may be you can decrease the brightness in the middle with PP
