You know what I love? That our grocery store, (now SUPER close to my house) has an excellent variety of fresh cut flowers and a florist on a daily basis. It’s always tempting for me to grab some fresh blooms for various parts of our house every time I stop by. Lately, I’ve decided it’s a luxury I can afford only on special occasions.
Earlier this year I had some white Chrysanthemums that I had gotten for our living room and decided to take some shots of ’em while they lasted, and it gave me a chance to practice my macro photography.
In the editing, I practiced a couple of different styles. I couldn’t decide which one I liked better—darker with emphasis on the many different parts of the flowers, or light and bright, with a very soft feel. What do you think?
Darker?
or lighter?
or even darker? {I’m beginning to think this one is on the chopping block myself.}
Not exactly the same shot, but similar.
Darker?
or lighter?
Then there’s the more detailed pedal shot, although not as detailed as I would like.
Oh well, live and learn.

I like the darker!

I prefer the lighter versions because the flower looks and feels more “flowery” and feminine, if that makes sense. And also, when it comes to natures shots, I prefer photos that look less processed and more natural. But it’s just a personal preference.
