Lovely blooms, nice image. I prefer diffused light (or a cloudy day) for flowers like this.

Our spring isn't early, but its making up for lost time now with all the blossoms and spring flowers wanting to perform! A lovely and uplifting frame full of blossom Mike!

Hi

A nice composition and a delightfully spring time subject - as mentioned softer lighting would be most peoples ideal, but another approach would be to use flash; which wold certainly bring a bit more life to the main star


All the best
Matthew

Good feed back...I didn't start out to do a serious shoot. I was testing my lenses on flowers (50 1.4za, sigma 35 1.4 art, 24 f2 za, and the 135 stf). I never use flash, I think I will give it a go and open up the flowers more. Thanks Mike
