Quite a lot, the weather was late afternoon about 4.00 ish the sun was gone from this part of the garden and I doubt that I could have got these colours with natural light.
I seem forever using the flash in day pics with the 5DM11 because to be honest I do not like the way it meters light and the exposure always seems to be out somewhere unless the entire subject is bathed in the same intensity of light.
sometimes a flash is necessary but, especially with the Mark II, I'm wondering what you would have missed if you did this au naturale.
I am enjoying the color and detail though. Penny Street
Beautiful image with wonderful light and color. The texture looks quite nice too. I think I am mostly okay with the dark negative space to the right (in fact that might make it special), though I am wondering if you experimented with different crops to make it a little less a part of the image as a whole? Very nicely done.
