Lady Lily,
Hi!
What's been happening since Roby's birthday?
Taking leave from UF or some thing?
Hope you're having a fine time,
miss you,
baha

Lily, this is a lovely shot as is. The other way to improve the lighting is to place the flowers in a more evenly lit area (i.e. with no bright spot on the tray) and then adjust using either the exposure values in the camera (+/- EV or manual settings) or post process in Photoshop (or whatever your preferred image editor is). As I said, I like this as is. You have good sharp detail, excellent colours and it is beautifully composed. The colours all look natural too. The shaft of light adds to the image too. If you used a reflector the light would become more diffuse (the opposite of what I think you were after). I'm no expert either but I'm happy to help where I can...

Lily;
Glad I was able to help out. Some people take good photographs by taking a lot and improving over time, others master various techniques, some ask around... there's no set way. But I think you've already got the basics pretty well figured out. And as I said, I'm certainly no expert.
If this was an example of a beginning image from you, then I can't wait to see the good one's, they'll be marvellous. Go for it!

Very rich color. I see Warren has given you some great technical tips. There's nothing like the color that glows from flowers around sunset, and these are vibrant. I like the sweet simplicity of your composition.

Warren, Thank you so much for taking the time
to show me how to improve the picture. I am going to try out your white cardboard suggestion since that sounds so simple. I had heard about it before but did not realize how much it would change a picture.

I think this is quite a nice shot as it is, but (and no offence intended) I would have done one or two little things just to give it a little extra.
Mainly, the section of bright direct sunlight on the table draws the eye and makes the rest of the image seem a little dull by comparison. I'd have used a simple reflector (a large sheet of white cardboard will do) on the right out of the shot to bounce a little of that sunlight back and add more brightness, or even out the light, on the pot and flowers. Use of a flash set on low power (with a diffuser if you have one) could also help but would probably be a little harsh for the subject. A reflector would also help to relieve the shadow on the wall behind the pot.
The composition is fine. I don't claim to be an expert, so if you disagree or have any comments, please let me know. We were all beginners at some stage, and we can all learn something from one another, so if there's anything about any of my images that you feel could be improved, please say so.
Best regards.
- Warren B.
