    Used and forgotten...

    The trout lily the next day.

    What do you think of the overall? What do you think of the lighting (low power flash close right and high power lower left)?

    TIA, TF

    I think it will make a great pairing with the first image.

    I do think this may be a bit too contrasty.....
    No, I DON'T need that.

    The lighting is fine, but not especially crazy about the sharply defined shadow line across the flower/stem coming of the foreground leaf.

    I'd like to see wider light coverage. I like the comp and angle very much though.
