Hi Lawrence,
I've been using your advice to photograph the flowers as portraits. Out of nearly 300 shots, I've posted a few on the page below.
Any more tips/advice? Maybe some PS manipulation? It is for an art gallery showing.
Thanks for responding. I was hoping some others would share their tips as well. Anyone?

Shyrell -- I would tend to agree with Lawrence -- i would go for a more
muted background -- When i photograph flowers, i tend to use a very
short focal length and blur out the background almost totally
If you like, check out www.w8tah.us and follow the links for Photography

flower pictures up there that you might enjoy
