Trillium Grotto

Comment by tnun:
Must have been very limited DOF to get just the leaves in focus - the patterns are great, and the gloss is good; the two out of focus blooms are lighted in a wonderfully similar way, and the rock background is great. A slightly different crop might have made this work better, or a different angle to give a compositional punch. (Never tired of photographing trilliums).

Very nice. Love the backlighting showing through the veins in the lily. Upper left edge of flower could be a tiny big sharper.

I hate pictures of flowers...unless they are better than my own! (okay...not hard to do) But this one is one of those "wait up a minute, I'll catch up and knock your socks off" type of prints.

i think your lighting is great, the setup and arrangement is also great. Good work!!
