Hi Steve

These are all lovely pictures but they all look a bit dark on my monitor.I've had a look at the histogram on a couple of them and there's a lot of space on the RHS.
They look even better with a bit of adjustment

Steve,

Thanks for sharing this nice set, good colors, smooth light and details. I like the composition in 2 and 5.

The pictures look slightly underposed to me, toning the highlights should be quite easy to fix in SW.

I sort of see what Tordan is saying, but I like them, they are cracking shots of some very impressive blooms.

Re: National Dahlia Collection Cornwall.

Thanks for all the comments.
I agree they are underexposed, one of the problems of using Legacy lenses. I have an E600 which has a exposure shift setting. If i set this to overexpose by say 1/2 a stop does this automaticly overexpose by 1/2 a stop everytime i take a shot. Or does this setting do something else.

Regards

Steve
