Processing practice!

Nice Images, I collect as many colorful ones as I can. You then have a wide choice of natural colors to use if needed in post processing. Some are just too nice not to appreciate.
Thanks for these

Those two that you reprocessed look much better now but you are not done yet. There are others like No. 2, 6, 7 and 8 that will benefit from a simple Curves adjustment.

First of all, these shots are not from my garden with the exception of the little Skipper sitting on a Buttercup. The others were shot in various locations. I try to snap the flowers I see anywhere I go. For the most part these were shots that a I might have discarded before I got more serious about processing. Now the challenge is to turn them into something at least acceptable. During these hot summer days, it keeps me entertained and happy!

Excellent set Carol - I used to get some of my best shots from garden centres - flowers provide such a variety of opportunity.

Nice set. On the pp side of it I like the black backdrops.
Thank you. I love the black backgrounds, too. They really make the colorful flowers pop.

Thank you, Doc. Actually you can find pretty flowers is some less than pretty places! I do quite a bit of my flower shooting at places like Lowes, Home Depot and local nurseries.

Very nice series Carol - especially the first and fifth image.
Thank you, Bill! I'm thinking you have a preference for red! So do I. I always have a red car!

Nice shots. In the last two edits, I would still up the brightness for the first one. I think the orchid could come up a little, but only until you like the top bloom. The rest need to be a little dark since they actually just point to and compliment the top one.
Thank you, and I agree now that Im looking at it again. I need to let my finished shots ripen for a couple of days before posting so I really have time to reevaluate.😊
