About the Image(s)

I took it with my iPhone 6 plus native camera handheld during a rain storm. ( I was under a walkway) I brought it into Lightroom and then Photoshop CC In PSCC I blurred the background more and cloned out a background flower.

Lovely photo but you picked a tough cubject and tougher setting.Your flowers are mostly in the same plane and the rain drops create the pattern to break up the almost all white surface..No distractions in the photo but theree is some out of focus areas on the edges of the flowers. Try to pull out some of the highlights and if you can increase some of the shadows to help with increaseing the third dimension on the subcect. Lightroom has a great adjustment brush to let you work small areas of a photo on adjustments like sharpness, highlights,etc. Just a thought.

Nice job.   Posted: 06/01/2018 17:49:18

It is possible to brighten the whites while leaving the background dark and to sharpen this a little. The large water drop in the lower right and the folded petal of the left flower are somewhat inconsistent with the delicate perfection I associate with flowers.   Posted: 06/02/2018 15:29:45

Nice composition and well focused. The water droplets add interest to the beautiful flowers. I like the tonal range of the white flowers. Bet that walkway smelled wonderful!   Posted: 06/13/2018 13:45:59

I think it is a nice composition, but the background is too grainy for my taste. I also feel like the top flower is more in focus than the bottom flower, but they are basically on the same plane.   Posted: 06/15/2018 09:38:47

I like the subject and the composition. I do think the flowers need to be hilited more.   Posted: 06/16/2018 11:26:00
