Yes, flowers...I went against the norm and had a subject that everyone states is boring. Hopefully, I was able to make this one more exciting. My single light source was a 60watt blacklight bulb that I put in one of my lights. Post production consisted of desaturation, auto brightness/contrast, tinting and sharpening to get a better overall effect.

Very pretty flowers. I think it would have been better with just the roses though or perhaps instead of the pink carnation, an pink rose. The carnation seems out of place in the shot. This was a lighting challenge and you got that right on.
IMHO it is not recommendable to present an image out of focus. When having such an obvious basic problem, you can only expect comments on that, and we miss the rest of your content.
Obviously, the subject is lit, but is it lit in a special way worthy of a challenge where the lighting IS the subject, or point. good shot in its own right, but I mark as per the challenge.
This came out very well! While I really like the roses, they came out wonderful, I'm less keen on the carnation, too bright against the subtle roses. Technically, you did great, much improvement over the earlier try. 8 Swash
I think I would have liked this better without the carnation. To me, it seems out of place and actually a bit too bright for the rest of the photo. The roses however are great. I really like the angle on them, and the framing/cropping are good as well. Focus might be a tad soft, but I can't complain, as the focus was the hardest for me in this challenge. Overall nice shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
