Bought some flowers and liked the colour and petal detail on this one.

Another stunning capture 'Lil Mau..... Subject nice and crisp and composition spot on! Only tiny tiny tiny change I would make would be for the far leave to be more in view rather than hidden by the stem.

Am seriously thinking about a new thread titled.... "Challenge Mau" !!!!

You remember that post you did a little while ago about quitting? Bet yer glad yer didn't now, eh?

I think I can say for all of us here that your work has come on in leaps and bounds and you truly are a talented photographer!!!! <hugz>

You've certainly mastered still life, Maureen. This is excellent. The colour and tonal range are spot on, and your lighting is superb. How did you set it up, and what lighting did you use?

Thank you Paul a compliment indeed coming from someone as accomplished as you

The set up is nothing special my dining room table, reflector sheets and I used two tablelamps with spotlights. I take great care deciding on the composition of the flower and position of the lighting to give me the effect I'm looking for.

Hi Maureen, as already said, nice and sharp with good detail, these flower shots of yours are giving us all inspiration to get out there and try to match your standard. Well done.

Cheers for the added info, Maureen. The care and consideration you put into the shot is very evident.
