Lillies of the Valley - Part 2
Posted By: mtnbearhug, 04-14-2008, 10:01 PM

I was gone all weekend and am finally getting these posted. I was trying to take Chris's and Peters advice and play with the purple blue background that the Hyacinths gave me.. Let me know if you think it worked or not...




This shot I took my 1:1 adaptor off and then cropped it down...




This next one I tried to sharpen a bit more but it didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference. I have this one as background on my computer and I love it!!!!



This last one is another one taken without the adaptor and then cropped down..


Thanks for lookin.. I hope you enjoy them!!!!!!

I like the last shot very much. The colour and arrangement of the flowers is the best out of the lot.

The colour is definitely wonderful there

Thanks Roentarre and Fritz.... This is one of my favorites of the batch as well. I actually just got it printed today and it framed up beautifully in a long slim frame (Matted 14 x 6) Gladded you liked it!!!

Thanks Julie, I was really happy with the purple background and the texture it took on from the Hyacinth...

Great shots Kim. The contrasting colours bring out the beautiful colours/textures of the flowers. I think the last is my favourite for its composition.

Thanks Paul.. The last shot has definately grown on me, esppecially since I got it framed.. Sometimes I look at it and have a hard time believing that I took the pic..

Glad you enjoyed them.. Thanks again for all the kind words!!! Kim
