Gladiolus in Warm Soft Light
Nov 20, 2021 21:40:24 #
These are cut flowers, Gladiouls, in natural light. I have found this pool of beautiful warm soft reflected sunlight.
Also I believe I have figured out how to include all metadata when exporting from Photoshop. Processed but not heavily retouched in PS, some gaussian blur on the background. And the vase was yellow.
Comments critiques always appreciated.

Beautiful flowers and I like the spread you have on them to balance both sides of the center row. Did you change the color of the vase or is that a trick of the lighting? If you changed the color, I would like to see how this would look with a very dark or black vase.
Did you happen to do a vertical shot as well? I think the horizontal is fine for this shot and would like to see what else you did with this.

Beautiful flowers. Is there a reason you cut off the bottom, not showing the last part of the flower and the pot? It seems to me they need to be included.

Thank you all for stopping and commenting. Specific answers below.
Luvmypets. Yes I did change the color of the vase. Black would disappear into the background but I like the idea of a darker color maybe a dark brown. I will try that. Thank you. I also do have some vertical shots I haven’t had time to cull them.
Jaymatt. I deliberately cut off the some of the vase, it’s not a pretty vase, but I screwed up and cut off the bottom of the flower by accident.
One thing again it was the light that makes the shot. I did not push the color or saturate it, I added a very slight touch of contrast but other than that, the flowers are right out of the camera.

This is a striking photo. In my opinion it could use a tiny adjustment. (using the scale in Lightroom) consider boosting the exposure (only) the slightest amount... somewhere between .5 to 1. See what you think.

There is a softness here that I think is really appealing. Not out of focus at all; but nit bitingly sharp either. Just the right feel for a flower. I think you handled the background really well.
