For the very first time in my life I THINK I have taken some decent photographs of Calla Lillies. I like these and think they came out pretty well. But what do YOU think of them? Please be as critical as you like so I can learn to do better. Love them/Hate them/In between, please let me know.

I used my Sony RX10IV for all shots and used a black background.

Thank you Mike. That is one great compliment as he is one expert and master when it comes to photographing flowers.

Good light, the de-saturated images lack a certain something-color! Thanx for sharing!

Exquisitely beautiful 🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️

Very nice. Focus, lighting, and composition are all outstanding.

I like the first one because of the lighting. The others not so much.

Very nice captures. I would open the crop a little on all four sides on all of them, to me all the flowers seem crowded in the frame. I like the texture on all of them. With white on black you might try isolating the flowers from their background and placing them on a pure black background. Just a thought.

Thank you Sinewsworn for your comment. I am not sure what you are meaning for desaturated images. There were four photos, two color and two black and white of the same two flowers. Are you talking about the desaturated photos being the black and whites perhaps?
