It does work. The dabbled light is great

Re: Lilly..

Different from the usual flower type of photography and it benefits from that. The dappled light, the dark(ish) leaves contrast well with the delicate and lighter texture of the Lilly flower. One almost gets the feeling the flower is lit from within.

Re: Lilly..

Originally thought this was a tad dark but going back to it I like it more, kind of moody

Re: Lilly..

thanks Bo & David - have to say I've only recently started playing with the radial filter and it does give you the advantage of controlling where you want to pull peoples attention - the first time I used it was with my purple church photo if you remember that
