Steven E. Ray July 09, 2007

The cool colors vibrate in unison. The blooms appear to have faced the lens as if to cooperate :-) Superb arrangement and cropping! #4487129

Colleen Farrell July 09, 2007

Thanks so much, Steven! The stems had fallen over in the flower bed, and so all the blooms were turned to face up toward the sun--I liked that little "twist," especially since it made it easy to photograph all their "faces!" #4489528

Sam Britt August 19, 2007

Great composition, color & lighting, Colleen. Very beautiful!

What type of lighting do you use on your indoor florals? #4671013

Colleen Farrell August 19, 2007

Thanks so much, Barbara, Heather and Sam!

Sam, lighting is a huge challenge for me! I shoot virtually all indoor photos in my (home) office, which has a south-facing window, and I use various reflectors. (Even in winter, when the light comes directly through this window, it's never enough.) I have to admit I'm rarely completely happy with the result--so often the light just looks kind of weird to me. lol #4671085
