Picked up some gladiolas at the store yesterday. Gave me an excuse to get the camera out.

Re: Gladiolas
Thank you Bruce, Greg and Brian.
I used soft back-lighting to take the pictures. As far as PP goes, I set the black and white points, adjusted the brightness and contrast to my liking and finally fine tuned the hue ans saturation of key colours. All done in Lightroom. I was too anxious to post and forgot to fix the backgrounds of #1 and #3
Here are the finished(for now) photos.

Re: Gladiolas
André, I love the colours and the texture of #2. It is a pity about the vase.
Cheers Ole

Re: Gladiolas
Thanks Ole. I find the bright green foliage even more disrupting than the vase. I should have taken care of those issues before releasing the shutter. I'm afraid that I would make things worst if I were to try to fix them with my limited PP skills. However, I am always opened to suggestions and will try almost anything.

Re: Gladiolas
Nice work indeed, particularly this flower, quite the favourite of a famous Australian (Dame Edna)

Re: Gladiolas
Thanks Kay. I didn't know that Dame Edna had a sweet spot for gladiolas. Originally Posted by wilgk
