This is such a grand bouquet. So powerful and beautiful. The colors are wonderfully done - natural and the lighting offers up a great capture. Detail is perfection. Wonderful bit of blooms for the lady! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice array of flowers. It would of been nice to see these up close with a zoom in shot. The background isn't needed. Good luck with the contest.

That is definitely a royal bouquet. It is so creative. I can't take my eyes off it. So many different types of flowers and colors and textures. The branches add so much interest. I especially like that you took the photo outside with the natural background. Well done.

A nice, simple but effective photo of this bouquet of flowers with a mass of colour and diversity, with no need for filters and all that jazz. A great natural picture, the only problem being the slightly loud background which detracts from the beauty of the subject somewhat. Still a great photo.

Seems like you have a good tradition in Holland! Your full and central composition does full justice to the bouquet!! Your image is also both well exposed and sharp. Hope you had a good party! Nicely taken!

As an arrangement of flowers, this is quite nice. I would, however, have tried out some different ways of framing this or different points of view - perhaps a close up of a portion. Also, the background might be blurred to make the bouquet stand out.

Comment from GaliaG


nice capture of the flowers and there nice colors, but the busy background and the fact that it is not blur enough distracts and takes from the initial impact

good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

We might get spotty results growing flowers around here but when it comes to beautiful flowers nobody can beat the Dutch. A remarkable bouquet that is shown in fine detail and beautiful colors. Best of luck in the voting.

This is indeed a beautiful bouquet of flower to celebrate with, and I would go wild photographing every single bloom individually if I had this in front of me. You have pictured it so well, but I think your photo is a bit ruined by a very busy background. You should have set the flowers against a wall to get a better background.

Your photo is however nice and sharp showing really clear and well defined details in all the flowers, and I also think the exposure is fine.

Everything seems to be a bit tilted to the right, and it is also unfortunate that the bouquet is gut off by the frame on the right. This is a lovely photo, but it needs some adjustments. Still I wish you luck with the contest.

    manny thanks Annie
    it is of course forbidden to touch, and would have been much too heavy for me....
    no tilt: the edge of the table is horizontal.....

Great setting of the photo, with the overcast weather and slightly obscured background. I like weather like this. The variety of flowers looks great in this particular photo with the backdrop. Looks like somebody took their time making that bouquet.
