I'm taking a floral arrangement course. This is the arrangement I made at the second class. I love the vibrant colors!

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Great colors and your arrangement is wonderful. The colors really stand out against the black background.

@Chris: Thank you.
I used the "paint with light" method: dark room, black felt background, 1/2 minute shutter speed, flashlight to "paint" the arrangement.

Beautiful shot, Anita. Thanks for the information on the "paint with light" technique. The colors really pop out that black background.
