Artistic floral shots

[ShelleyK]

These 2 shots were taken yesterday, late afternoon in my neighbors garden, Im not sure which one I want to give to them yet...I do have a few more but these 2 caught my eye the most. They also do not look ANYthing like these IRL!

Nicely done. What're the photography specs? Lens, camera, ISO, shutter, etc.?

What is a Lightroom? How doe's it differ from a Darkroom for processing. And yes, I know I'm setting myself up for some jokes

but it's been along time since I dabbled in photography and I'm not familar with this.

btw, the shots are beautiful.

Great shots...

Is the translucence part of the processing -- or from lighting?

A little bit of both, the backlighting on the original didnt quite come through so when I did the Post processing it made it even more transparant adn made the flowers stand out much more
