Wow, they don't look real! Reminds me of the kind of desktops you get with Windows. Might be worth dropping Bill Gates a quick mail!

Absolutely love the pictures, they are my favourite flowers! Would love one of those 3 picture frames with three prints like that!
All landscape one above the other or all portrait side by side!

Thanks Loz, I might go back and put another one in landscape then, make them all uniform :)

Yes, you ruddy should! :D

You could put the portait one in the middle, were you to put them on canvas :) I like them, they are really sharp and clear.

You could get a few pics done, shove em on to canvas and get a little stall or something in your local shopping centre.

They are REALLY nice. The framing sets them off perfectly :)

Sometimes the most simple things can make wonderful photos. They're lovely. You've got the DOF and lighting bang on there. I do prefer 2 & 3 though simply because they fill more of the frame.

I have a very similar set that I did of some pink gerberas in an arrangement I had on a white background. They are beautiful flowers and very photogenic. I buy a pot plant of gerberas every year, firstly because I absolutely love them and secondly because I like taking photos of them :D

Thank you everyone!

Loz, I actually deleted the crap images, and I was only left with the above three, so cant make them all landscape, damn it :p

One more that I am not sure on, I think the DOF is too shallow, so the vase has melted away to nothing :D

Yeah I think the eye is drawn to the 'WTF' area that is the vase. Flower is lovely and sharp though.

Looking at the EXIF, they were all done around the 1/5 shutter mark, how they dont suffer from camera shake Ill never know, they were all handheld!!!! :D
