Carnations

[Round Tuit]

This is my first cut. I would welcome suggestions to improve it.

Looks good to me although I wonder if a few of the paler petals are a fraction too bright?

I feel it's a pity that the gypsoph - cant spell it - is cut at the bottom. Is there space around the image to crop wider ? A bit more room around the flowers at the top and sides would also improve the shot I think

Thank you Geoff. I don't see any that are close enough to being blown out to be distracting. To each his own.

I can fix the side crop relatively easily. I agree with the gypsophila (Babies Breath) but to fix that, I will ave to re shoot.

Mmm... This type of problem is very easy to avoid - shoot with a good margin around your subject to allow for re-cropping later. It once was the case that you needed to frame tight when shooting to get the max resolution possible, but it's simply not needed with modern high res cameras. I shoot wide systematically so as to have an image for final crop in PP., that gives much more flexibility.

Your bouquet looks lovely! To enhance it, consider adding greenery like eucalyptus for texture and layering flowers at different heights for depth. Varying light purple shades can balance the darker tones while spacing flowers slightly can create an airy look. Soft lighting can highlight petal details, and a decorative vase would complete the presentation beautifully. I was studying business studies and had a lot of academic essay-writing tasks but didn't complete them by myself. My classmate suggested an e-platform ukwritings.com/dissertation-services which was helpful for me. UK writing specializes in creating custom, plagiarism-free content with guaranteed confidentiality.
