    Flowers

    I took these two shots yesterday - can't decide what I think about them or which is best. What do you think?

    Re: Flowers

    Probably the first one. The issue is that the sky is overexposed in both. Make sure to expose for highlights next time. As a fix, crop to zoom into one of the flowers.

    Re: Flowers

    I like how you got nice and low to the flowers but I think you should crop from both the top and the bottom of the frame.

    The sky adds nothing and if it wasn't there you could increase the exposure and brightness of the rest of the image. The leaves and ground on the bottom of the frame also add little. Crop to the strongest part of the image then correct for color, exposure and intensity.
    No, I DON'T need that.
