Beautiful blooms, nicely captured. Like the good separation from the bg and the diagonal placement. Exposure of the white on the top bloom looks slightly bright on my screen but still still nice as it is.

Beautiful columbines Benjamin and excellent subject/ground separation. I've shot enough of these to know how hard it is to find a composition that works and I think this is as good as I recall seeing.

Beautiful arrangement. I like the nice soft colours and well managed contrast to BG. Nicely done Benjamin.

Lovely cluster of flowers and nice composition, Benjamin. The whites and yellows look a little washed out as I view this image and it could be my monitor.

Do you still have your shooting specs?

Thanks,

Carol

Nice trio Benjamin. The upper two blooms are especially nice with fine detail and sharpness. Your bg really makes the colors of the blooms jump off the screen.

The whites look real borderline on my monitor, but I have no issues with it at all. I really like the grouping here on a reasonably blurred background. I like the choice of crop as well.

Great DOF choice on this one, lovely subtle shot with great detail throughout. Love the arrangement also.

A lovely, airy image, Benjamin. I might go for toning down the whites a touch, but the grouping of the flowers makes for a strong composition.
