Your work does not go unnoticed in a most respectful way by me

I like your 'style' and interpretation and that you stick with it and have unique ways to make it work Chris

Perhaps a few more folks here will take a moment to step out of their comfort zone and give something of this nature a try. There really isn't a right or wrong way IMO, some prefer the blank BG's, some prefer the natural BG's some prefer a very diffused BG.............it's all good when done right for me as there is a different mood...Show more →

Thanks a lot Karl for your kind words.
There are many ways to shoot flowers. I just try to explain what I do because I did get some very positive comments on my previous flower posts.
Hey, a floral forum sounds good to me. I would post there and I'm sure you and many others would too.
I love your Floral-tongue shot. That subtle green A shape in de BG works great with the yellow V shape. Well done, Karla.

Regards, Chris

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!. Bravo, Chris!

You are a master of environmental flower photos! I'm one of the blank background guys but there is much to be learned from studying your artistic vision. Thanks for sharing your photographic wisdom!

If i HAD to pick, I think #1 and #4 would be my absolute favorites. Beautiful work!

All the best,

Endre

Thanks a lot, Endre for your very kind words.
I'm glad to hear you like my post this much.

Martin refers to a "Daf." Do the Dutch still make those vehicles?

Some really fantastic images here, Chris.
If I were to crawl around on my belly like a reptile- I'd never be able to stand up. So your informative explanations... well, I skipped them because I think your florals are magical, and I don't want to know how the magic works

Charlie

Thank you Charlie.
Only the truck versions of DAF are still in manufacturing. Man, you really know everything.

I'm glad you find my images magical.

I found this very interesting. Your work is beautiful, but I approach macros pretty much the opposite way, as I stop down a lot. I will have to try your way soon, that is when the flowers start blooming, and instead of one of my macros, will use the 300 F4 and see what I get.

Thank you Jeannie. I'm glad to hear you find it interesting.
