Great colors. Though you managed the light admirably well, a slightly diffused sunlight might have helped this photo more. Nice photo, nevertheless

Very nice light, color and BG, the large view really shows it off nicely Craig.

Lovely little scene. You handled the exteme contrasts well. While softer light may have been nice, I really like the interplay between the sunny and shady parts here, and I don't know if a diffuser would have spoiled that effect.

Very nice. Beautiful colors and bg. I think the diffuser might have helped, but it is a very nice photo the way it is.

The background really sets these off. I think you held the brighter light in check well, but the colors probably would have been even more intense on a cloudy day. Still excellent as is.

I am in the camp for diffuser on this. Very nice none the less.

Craig: Hope you had as much luck with the birds as you did with the blooms. I like lighting like this although it is a challenge to master. You did really well. 2 thumbs up. >=))>
