Back to Flowers Part 2

[Athena]

Okay, upon a lot of good advice I went back to these two flowers this morning. It was a bit easier today because there was more ambient light to use (less need for strobe light, which can be harsh) and because overnight the 1/2 way flower opened up. Less DOF needed. ;)

Here's the first with a black background and fully opened:

And the second, more interesting flower. I decided to add another character to the scene. It fills the frame up, but I think changes the name from "Disapointed" to "Embarassed"
69203

Thanks again for all your excellent advice on how to improve these two flower shots. I hadn't shot any flowers in probably a full month - strange how you can sort of fall out of it.

What did you use for the background? they look good.

Thank you. :)

The background is a piece of my canvas backdrop that's draped over a curtain rod. It's quite far back and resonably unlit, so you can't see any of the texture in it.
