Happy Easter!

Hi :)

I would like to give here my idea of Easter card.
A lot of people are buying Easter cards. I have made my own Easter cards.
Foto 1 is much better as it seems to me. Blooming flower-heads are seen better.
On the second picture flowers are not seen as well as on the first. Besides the background is... "broken" by light. It is because of window-frame :(

Generally, I think the background is too dark (I will improve it) and some other mistakes are also visible but all in all not the worst I think... what is your opinion?
What about composition? More flower-pot should be visible?

Here we go!

Thanks for your all ideas! :)
Happy Easter :)
green.

The first one seems a little dark but I like that you can see more of the front of the flowers in that one. Have you thought about getting in really close on a couple flowers and using them to fill the fame?

The yellow flowers need to pop and they don't. Might be able to bring them out in post editing. Daffodils are really good for back lighting.

I agree with Shooter Tiff.

more contrast, hehe
same with Frog, the flower should be pop out, hehe

As you noted, the background isn't the best. Actually I think the lighting is the problem as both images look dull.

I also think the flowers should fill the frame. There is too much empty space on the sides of the image making the flowers look small.

Hi :)

Thanks for your all comments. Today Easter. Look at these pictures. My yellow daffodils are ...taller somehow. And lovely I think. Next pictures soon :)

Happy Easter :)

g.

ps. Well... I hope you like the pictures with blue and green background better than the pictures with orange background. It is difficult to me to take reasonably good pictures with orange background. Why? Light is my response.
Anyway I think my two next pictures are better than two first ones.

Happy Easter! :)

I like the first pic of the second series (bluish background). The background color reminds me of a robin's egg blue which, along with daffodils, is another harbinger of spring.

I like the blue bg better too.
Light? Looks to me like you bounced your flash?
Everyone here is probably going to tut and sigh but try putting them next to a window and disable the flash, to create some shadows.
A window with a white sheet up would create some nicely diffused lighting :)
