Another set of 'soft light' flower macros from this morning.

I like #3, the contrasting colours are very nice.

I like them all but #1 & #2 are my favorite. #3 is more original but I prefer the colors in the other shots.

Thank you Paulo and francois. Your favorites span all these images; I like that very much.  ;)

Bob - this comment is probably counter to what you are trying to achieve but ... The soft light is nice but a bit flat to me.  Just a wee bit of off camera light could put in a lot more life and depth.

Chuck, thanks for the advice. I didn't do much dodging and burning on this group of photos, but I think I'll go back to LR to add a little extra to them. That will help rid some of the flatness in the light.
