Gerbera by shepherdmanswife

Gerbera

Experimentation with lighting. I know it's not the 'norm' but I don't feel like conforming at the moment!
What do you think? Please give your honest opinion, whether good or bad, I can take it!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped put both my Robin photos onto PP. I am absolutely thrilled.

Love it! The lighting really works and gives it an extra dimension, especially with the dark background :-)

Very cool lighting, I like how it highlights the edges of the petals

Well I love it, the darker centre with the light fading out to the petals, it is lovely

I love Gerber daisies! I think it's always good to experiment! Very unusual....almost like rim lighting, but not as dramatic. Way to not conform and congrats on both those Robin shots!!!

Beautiful lighting! I love flower pictures!

I like it. It brings out the depth of the blossom, and you still have detail in the more shadowed areas. Did you try one with the front petals in sharper focus? Just asking, not implying it would be an improvement. I'm trying to imagine that variation, and I can't quite do it. It might spoil the magical effect! This way the light seems to be spilling out of the flower, not just passing through it.

This is so pretty and I like the way you have captured the light.

I quite like the bqacklighting...it almost ventures into light painting which can be very effective

Love the backlighting and transition from softness to focus.

Beautiful! I like the light you have created. It's almost like it is shining from below the flower. The color of the flower is lovely, too!
