I really love this. Only thing I could say is some parts may be to bright. But that maybe because I am right now having a hard time of getting my light to filter the right way. Filter may not even be the right word. Shine? Anyway This is very very beautiful. Very beautiful! I would hang this in someplace for the world to see I love it.

This grabbed my attention. The delicate flower, shimmering rain drops, and deep black background are breath taking. The term "achingly beautiful" came to mind. I am impressed with your lighting and composition. Thanks!

Comment from mamamary


Very beautiful. I thought phlox were very small, tiny flowers. I like the way the flowers look layered. The black background really shows the flowers to perfection. A very nice photo.

    Each 'bunch' is made up of smallish flowers mama-m. Different varieties have different sized blossoms though. 'David' is not as small as some others. Thank you for checking them out. I do appreciate it.

Comment from LorrainePurviance


beautiful flowers, I like the fact that you got a lot of detail out of the white areas, not an easy task; the dark background works well and the grouping of the flowers gives this a very nice line

Comment from Kathy Schipper Art


Very impressive for taking this picture in the dark. It is a difficult challenge, and you did very well. I love the water droplets on the clean white linen-like petals. It is a nice contrast against the black background.

Nice pic! The flowers jump out. Like the water drops you included; the white and black go well together; good contrast; nice gentle feeling; like the amount of lighting/shade you have. Keep up the nice work.

Comment from SteveANH


Fantastic focus and a wonderful dark background! The shadows captured in the petal on the flowers is very cool.

The water droplets are a sharp and add greatly to the image and composition.

Great!
