>>4179509then would you be so kind to explain? I think the lighting was very good and fitting. It gives the image a low contrast and makes it look like a painting, without even having to edit it to be like that. There are no sharp and deep shadows and the colors flow into each other. Overall, the image is warm, the blue tones of the flower separate it from the background and the foreground flowers. No DOF needed. But the DOF mixes the background colors, giving the image an even smoother and softer look. In which way could a different lighting have made the image any better?
