The sun was beating down harshly then. This was taken in a more shady area.

With harsh light, we had thought we were resigned to photographing only those flowers in the shades. But we were pleasantly surprised by such a spectacle as this now and then.

I wasn’t able to get this composition onsite due to blocking spot lights. This was obtained by rotating the original capture some 10 degrees in post. Some edges had also need to be filled up with the healing brush.

Emerging Strong Love

The sun was beating down very hard so we resorted to photographing only those flowers that were out of the harsh sun. This was to avoid harsh shadows in the flora.

Who Am I?

Leo In Bloom

A couple of the tulips were in the sun so they were originally unevenly lit. Highlights and shadows were then tweaked in post to fix that.

The sun was beating down harshly at the time. So we restricted ourselves to photographing only those that were happened to be in the shade to avoid harsh shadows in the flowers.
