testing your setup?

don't mind me saying this, but your subjects or intended subjects isn't well compose.
#1 - no focal point, can't tell what you intend to show
#2 - better, but subject is too centralised
#3 - best of the lot, do watch out for hotspots (white areas in the background)
#4 - again, what you intend to show? I would prefer a lower angled shot, making the flowers less spacious
#5 - lack contrast, would prefer it in portrait, landscape have too much negative spaces on both sides
#6 & 7 - might be better if you choose a less cluttered background or perhaps a lower f-stop to blur the background

I like pic 3 best. Probably can increase the exposure by 1 to 1.5 step to capture the different hues of greenry. Just my 1 rupee worth of thought

Thanks for the advises.

#3 is great! I can feel it right here when i'm typing, the feeling of what you're trying to portray a mystical sense.

Great effort,

Cheers!

I edited exposure from 0 to +1, would this be better ?

tcy,
I like the original #3 better. The edited one is a bit too bright for me.

[Simon]

the gloomy-ness of your original looks better, by increasing your exposure not only brightens the photo but also the hotspots at the back and it is extremely painful to look at

[luenny]

Agree with Simon. The original one seems to set the mood too. The repost, makes it all too ordinary. The rest, I think covered by Simon already.

thanks for the advises.
