A few flower shots from the Cremorne 2x2 outing. All critique is appreciated especially since flowers are NOT my forte.

#3 is probably my favourite! #4 comes second. These two shots really bring out the colours of the flowers. #1 looks a little flat to me

Great shots all around though

Nothing to say. They are all excellent. Your processing is perfect and the colours pop. I like 1 and 2 best.

I think the last two are the best. Number two is not bad either, but lacls the colours of 3 & 4. However, number one althought it is quite sharp I think it needs a more vibrant an lighter colour. What do you think?

I reckon #1 has the most potential - with some 'd-lighting' you could really bring out some light and show a bit of that greenery behind, also brighten it all up... just my thoughts :)

All very nice shots. The colours in #3 are perfect i think.

Thanks for your feedback. Here is a slightly brighter version of #1. Personally I think the more subdued tones of the original work better.

I like the 2nd version better, but it is still not quite right. Try bringing down the brightness a little bit.

pete, love the last one.
can say i'm a fan of #1. imo it looks like a really underexposed indoor flower pick using the onboard flash.

I like the revisited #1 - but thats why photography is so subjective :D

+1. Really like the redone version, along with #3.

Definately subjective,
I'm with you Peter in that I prefer your first version of #1.
