My usual reaction when I first upload and peruse my photos, is bluck. I see what is wrong, which is frequently a lot. They're also in RAW format, so require a little contrast, saturation, brightening or whatever. But I forget this at first.
When I had a more unhurried look yesterday, I found myself liking many quite a bit more. A few required very little processing, except maybe for some cropping. Others required a bit more tweaking to bring out the best.
I love the background light and bokeh in this one. I guess I could wish more more vibrant flowers, but you can't have everything, or at least I can't. Perhaps I could have processed it a bit more, but I left it almost unedited.
Two more of not much processing. I liked the leaves behind the blooms and the natural texture in the background.
There were a few others where I liked the leaves and grasses as much as the flowers themselves.
The flowers will likely be fading already but should return for a few weeks in mid-June next year. Perhaps I will get there again.
Love the softness of these photos!
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorites are the crisp ones! So we have different tastes. They are all precious!
ReplyDeleteThey are so different in mood. I do like them all. I find that photo processing is something I like to do these days. I can take a really good photo, but I want to tweak it to the edge of something like an art project. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteOurs were early, and few this year. I totally missed them! Yours are lovely.

ReplyDeleteIf I had to vote on my personal favorites in this group, then #1 and #2 would win. I have only seen lady slippers up close once here in NH and never when we lived in other states. They are so fleetingly beautiful and delicate as your photos clearly show, AC..
I like these macros, especially the last one.
ReplyDeleteI like the ones showing the grass, they don't look quite as planned as the others.
ReplyDeleteThey all are nice!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, but I rather like the dark contrasting background.
