Flowers C+C

Randall Floyd

Hey all, first post here, i was going for a heavily saturated look here, did i over club it? Any PP suggestions for colour saturation?

#2 is a little washed-out in the highlights on the lighter flower.

All of them are pretty, but I think I like #1 the best.

I think I would like #2 the best if those highlights were tamed without making the rest of the image too dark. (This can probably be done if you were shooting in raw, and have photoshop, lightroom, or gimp.. and probably many other PP suites.)

All 3 seem too dark to me. And too busy. The background is distracting and tbh I think the colours of the flowers clash: red/ yellow with pink white.
Have you thought about shooting them against a solid back ground, like black or white?

Way to busy for me and the color isn't great either

the exposure/contrast just seems ... wrong. the first one is the best, but underexposed and probably over-saturated. The last one is too central and not as interesting. Sometimes I think 'busy' is more interesting, but that's me

The first image is definitely the most intriguing of the lot composition-wise, but also because the second and third images have a blue colour-cast to them that's throwing off the rest of the colours a bit. Easily corrected in PP, though.

Hey all, thanks for the comments, i shot the images in RAW and used CS4 for PP. I've tweaked #1 slightly bringing down the saturation slightly and increasing the exposure.
