Yellow Calla's Still Life

[bairam]

My yellow callas bloomed over the weekend and I couldn't wait to do an arrangement of them. Here is the best out of 10 shots.
Cropped for this forum and Contrast adjusted. Taken with Nikon 4500, on tripod.


All comments appreciated.

Just gorgeous Maria! I mean to say those are as yellow as yellow gets! I did notice that your table is listing a bit to the right. I love the spotty leaves-nice addition!

Well done Maria - Great colours and I love the addition of the rock.

Beautiful arrangement. Almost Japanese. Beautiful Callas. I would like to see a little more light on the flowers on the left. That side seems too dark to me.

Everytime I see a beautiful flower in this forum I wish that I had it in my garden. Space limitations are getting to me. Someday my yard will be all flowers and forget grass. LOL

The last shots I took of this arrangement were in the late afternoon light. I tried again the following morning and I think I got much better results. Also instead of using the peach color mat I just used the wall and I like the texture. What do you think?

Maria--The white background really changed the look of the lillies. I like the light on them better with the light back ground. But I also like the warmth of the peach back ground. Did you try the peach in the better light of morning? The shadow on the right of the morning shot is distracting to me.

I still love the arrangement and the callas. So little room in the garden. Sigh.... Maybe I should get rid of all my old faithful plants and start with all that I see here and covet. LOL

Maria, these are wonderful! My photos of your callas didn't come out at all... I'm so happy you were able to capture them in all their splendor!
