A wider view of our paper whites. Added some haze for softening and a vignette for taming the BG. All comments welcome. >=))>

Too much haze! Needs some pepper and a dash of salt...Seriously, a fine soft image, well balanced. There is not a lot of glamor in paper whites, unfortunately. But these are all mostly in focus with a good diffuse BG.

I prefer this softer look, Bill. Little more of an artistic take, and I like how you managed the bg. Well done.

This wider view and the softness from the added haze make this a lovely image. The bg turned out very well too.

The taming works pretty well, and the angle of the blooms is nice. I wish that the leaf exiting to the right did not break up the shapes in the BG so much.

I like this comp as well, Bill, but they ended up looking a bit bright for my taste-I prefer the richer colors of the first post.
