 Flowers taken by my IPHONE4


I wanted to take something different and fun... to really see how an IPHONE photo really did.. I did not edit it in any software, just straight out of my phone..
I realized with the comments during the challenge of what I needed to do otherwise to make it better, but I was happy for the most part of this thank you always for the awesome CC and comments

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

You have captured some very lovely colors of morning glories growing in the garden. The lighting is very good on the flowers on the left 2/3 of the frame. The right 1/3 has a little too much sunlight on them that they suffer from overexposure. There are two options you could try to make sure that does not happen. The easiest is zooming in on the flowers that are not in direct sunlight and expose the frame for just them. Second is to use your computer's histogram function for the graph will tell you if the composition is too dark, balanced or too light (some cameras will also have the function in reviewing picture in the viewfinder showing blown hightlights). Overall the composition has good bones about it, but needs a little more work to give it some visual punch. The other thing I would recommend to improve the visual appeal of the photo more is to give your audience a main focus for the eye to rest on before drinking in the full scene. There are so many flowers here I don't know where to look first. The blue morning glory in the top left would be a good starting focal point for your floral still life. Zoom in, have it dominate the top left corner so that the eye then can travel down to see the few pink/red flowers that would fill in the rest of the frame.

This scene was probably too contrasty to be effectively captured under minimal editing, at least without any fill flash to balance the light out. Earlier or later in the day and it may have worked better.
