Great clouds - a little less flash/light on the poppies would have been perfect!

The light on the red really helps the flowers jump out from the background. Beautiful sky!

A lovely image. I had to come back to this one. Although the flowers look like they lit by another source - the sun in the clouds fit the theme. 10

Good shot, next time get a tiny bit lower and closer to the flowers if you can still keep the DOF. Good lighing of the foreground.

This flowering plant doesnt appear to belong to the scene is

Wonderful shot. Those clouds behaved fairly well for you didn't they. The spot lighting adds that sort of ViewMaster depth.

Very interesting shot. I think I would prefer I tighter crop to lose some of the middle ground elements on the left.

Interesting, I dont see much of back lighting besides some light in the clouds, otherwise nice picture the flowers really get a lot of attention being red!

This is great. Might be a little too lit from the front, but overall it's very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2007 09:04:05 PM
Very good shot! I think if you had positioned flowers little bit off the light area in the sky to create more contrast, it would have been even better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2007 05:27:23 PM
The direction of light on the front of the flowers over powers the backlight.
