Beautiful lighting on this sweet begonia, Giuseppe. I like your composition a lot. My only nit is the sliver of brighter area in the lower left corner that tends to pull my eye.

Gigi: Wonderful colors, especially the pink leaf edges. I might like a tiny bit more room on the left side but this works very well as is. Bellissimo. >=))>

@Dennis_Plank, @Bill_Fach now is ok for you?

Beautiful, Giuseppe.

I love those soft pink colors on the green leaf’s as well.
THANKS

Very fresh and almost dewy here. You definitely have the colors dialed in well. I wish the background was different though. That white slash in back unsettles the composition and mood for me. Was this in a pot that could have been moved? I’ve been known to do that when photographing hummingbirds at my flowers - if the bg is too bright I move it. The birds don’t care.

Aa lovely pastel capture that fits the simple but sweet little flowers. I love the way the leaves sweep the eye up to the blooms. I also find the white in the BG a little bothersome. I sometimes prop a piece of paper or cardboard behind a small subject like this.

I really like this one, Giuseppe. It has a painterly look. I understand the comments about the white in the background but I think the shot would lose something if it weren’t there.

I’m here to leaarn more about flower photography which is not my main thing. I understand the other reviewers comments; however, I think the backlighting is a tad strong maybe, deminish the color and texture in the flower. I also think the white area in the background is to bright. In the end I defer to the artist’s vision, thanks for sharing.
