Another good set. I prefer 1 and 3, #2 would be better for me with more DoF.

What do you use for your black backround?

 

[Paul_H]

Very nice I can see i need more practice

Really good to see a bit of colour again. Apart from white that is!

All good but if I had to choose it would be no2

I was trying to take some pics of my tulips the other day and just couldn't get one i liked. Am going back to have another go after seeing these.

Love these John, the colours really pop out against the black bg, nice to see the texture of the petals too.

I have the similar colour Tulips sat here on my desk, I said I would take a pic for the person that gave them to me but Im struggling ... the heads just keep drooping when I separate them, so I wont be expecting to post anything anywhere near as good as this... if at all, lol!

 

[Dark Star]

Glo, many thanks for your kind comments

Give 'em a go!!! And as for drooping.....no comment

Glad you found your Mojo again John... sunshine can have a marvellous effect... I think #3 stands out for me, but all good.
