The last of the flowers.

The last day of plants! Here are a few more pictures of flowers.
HHCC Appreciated. Taken with my 50mm 1.8! Have I mentioned I love it! Because I do.

f2.8 1/40 ISO 200 Manual, Natural Light. f 2.8 1/60 ISO 200 I sharpened this one.. or I did the unsharp mask. Too sharp?

Very nice pics. I'm jealous of your new lens. The first pic is lovely. The color is very nice. The second pic looks just a tad bit too sharp. I think that may have affected your color also or I don't know if you did any color adjustment to it also. It looks a bit cool compared to the first shot. With flowers you don't want to oversharpen because you lose some of the soft, natural beauty of them. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the CC, I didn't do a color adjustment, I don't have that on my version of PSE. I have been experimenting so I appreciate this so much.

nice shots. i couldn't get myself to shoot flowers for my life... :(
here's my cc - pic #1 is soft (obviously) and is because you have a very slow ss (1/60). try upping to at least 1/100+ if you're holding the camera (if under make sure it's steady on tripod, table, etc.)
pic #2 is too sharp (as jenluvs2scrap mentioned). hey, it's cool. we're all here to learn, and the more you practice, the better you get at it.
tfs!
