My first daffs and flower macro of the year!

Whoo, spring is coming - bring on the flower macros!

Was experimenting with lighting in the first two, I think I like the first better.

first is better for lighting
2nd is better for the shadow
not sure what you're trying to do with them really

if you can get a big white piece of card above and behind you and bounce your flash off of that, it might look more evenly lit

Personally, I prefer the more even lighting of the 2nd. I think you could experiment further however.

Woooooo spring

This is my first for the season, I'm really happy eith it, as the flower is actually very very small...

I find the shadows a bit too distracting. They're cool and all, but they take the focus off the flowers.

^^^Me too. If you could diffuse the light a bit to get softer shadows and an even white background the first one would be great.
