For the curious minds...

here's the vertical comp.

Thanks again for the comments and feedback on the horizontal comp I posted a few days ago.

I like the transluscence of the flowers, the near-absence of shadow and blacks, and the watercolor effect. Artfully done. Thanks, Ron

Sanjay: I sometimes find glads tough to shoot but really like your comp and the high key on this one. Really well done.>=))>

Much preferred . I only wished that you would have left some space at the top.

Sanjay - Very pretty and thanks for following through with the vertical. This has tremendous appeal compared to the previous photo. Looks magical.

The high-key white b/g sets off the translucent petals and peach colors nicely. A sweet shot. I might add another version of this same but close-up of only one bloom, if possible, to show greater detail in this online format. As is, a winner….and preferred over the previous
