Daffodils in the Backlight

We have a small pot of little daffodils, the miniature ones. They sit on the dining room table, and on a whim, I decided to take some macro photos with strong backlight coming from the patio door. The strong backlight left the foreground flowers a little dark, but when I lifted the shadows, what emerged looked a bit painterly — a little bit like watercolor. It is a very different effect for me, but I don't mind it for a change.




I didn't set out to create this effect; it just happened.

  6. A big change from your outdoor almost night-time photos. I love the translucence of these flowers the way you've edited them.

  15. Interesting. I find that photos my daffodils in the garden are sometimes the hardest colour to print out.
