Nice set, really like the last one.

Neat set but especially that last one - neat experiment with a delightful result.
A nice set Amy. The last and the first one for me in that order. Perhaps a crop of the first one to lose that blade of grass on the left side.

Beautiful set, Amy. I really like what you have done with the DOF. Congratulations on the Daily Featured Post.Here are a few flower photos from one of my afternoon walks. C&C welcome.

#4 - Experimenting with backlighting (for this one I held the daisy head over the sun). I added some grain for texture during processing, felt like it added to the pseudo-polaroid style.

Thanks so much, everyone 
I'm surprised to hear that many of you liked #4 - it wasn't my favorite but your response makes me want to see if I can improve on it a bit or try similar photos, perhaps with other flowers.

Nice work altogether. I also like the last, and agree with Jameel on the crop.

I tried a tip I got from a video this morning on cinematic techniques. There seems to be a lot of blue hue in film color grading. I also found after 3 years on Instagram that blue-hued photos seem to attract more likes. In lieu of that info I tried this in Photoshop on this photo: Added a solid color fill layer, picked a vivid medium blue, and set it to Exclusion blend mode with opacity at 20%. What do you think of this effect? I find these tones appealing.

This processing leaves kind of a dreamy look to the scene that works well for this subject. Not sure I would run out and apply this to everything but it does work here.

Thanks Eric! I appreciate it
Thanks. Yes, I agree it works more with some subjects than others.
