Larry, I have looked at all and I liked some of them. On reflection, I've noticed that all the ones I liked had either a black or almost black background. Perhaps I feel that the background color (does not matter which) is competing for attention and somehow overpowering the colors of flowers. I

Working on my backlog, I took some photos a few nights back of flowers, playing around with lighting, and lighting the background with a gelled strobe. I think this one is my favorite. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/49572247052/in/album-72157713219510823/ Here is basically the same

I think it's better in color, the OOF areas are really distracting to me in BW. Rebekah wrote: So last week I was playing with my camera, a flashlight and some flowers. This picture's my favorite, but I'm undecided (as usual) if I like it in color or BW. I cropped it down a little bit too.

Hello Rebekah, I like the color better. This is a real difficult shot to execute because of the DOF issue. You will not be able to get all of the flowers in focus, so picking the focus point is crucial. As presented, the focus point doesn't jump out at me - it looks more towards the middle.

Thanks guys. I see what you mean, I hadn't looked at it that way, and it's good to know. Do you think this picture would lend itself to one flower being colored, like this? http://picasaweb.google.com/rg2pdml/PESO/photo?authkey=W1C-i05p28o#5108675641377599890 Or should I just go back and take

No, I think I would go back and shoot some more - you should try many things to see what is going to work best. If you are only taking a shot or two, then you are not exploring the subject to it's fullest. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, September 10, 2007, 1:31:59 PM, you wrote: R Thanks

Rebekah, to me on the ibook screen, the hilites are pretty loud. Try and tone those down a bit and maybe, just a tad, more DOF. Not much, just a tad. Dave On 9/10/07, Rebekah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Bruce :) I'll try again. I actually have a whole roll of film i used taking pictures
