Hi Nas,

>N>Thanks P



>N> I tried to avoid any distraction from the background so that the flowers would be the only focal point but it still isn't as plain as I would like.

OK well use ACDSee's "photo Repair" to eliminate the corner-edges in the background - meld them - see if that helps. (Keep the original safe!)

>N> It is the most beautiful bouquet (from Marks and Spencer), which is why I photographed it, so I'd have a visual record of it long after the flowers have died.

(M&S is a UK high-quality retailer - used to operate in the USA, too).

>N> My boss gave it to me for all the work I put into our Book Award event, which went really well (phew!)

Brill! Well done.

Hi Nas,

A well-photographed bouquet; the pale, plain background enables us to see the full range of colours without pattern / other colour interference. Your shot (and the camera's quality) enable the fernish-fronds to be appreciated in great clarity.

Well done. If it is your bouquet, you must be very pleased.
