I had all of the vases with the flowers at the end of the dining table while I was mucking about with them yesterday, except for the clear glass and tulips I put that in mums room, and thought, oooh they look lovely there. Had to take some snaps. Really nice to see them there through out the day.
@illinilass I have blackish blinds behind that cover the sliding door, they helped but I took the contrast up quite high to really darken it down (in lightroom). The blinds have a bit of gray in them that I didn't want to show up. Edit - I had the F stop higher and the ISO higher.
