What do you think of these photos/idea? I would love some feedback and maybe some suggestions? I really want to continue working with natural things but in a studio setting so I can control the light. This was a leaf that I picked and then brought back to my house to shoot. The last image is the setup and how I got those shadows!
Well thats an interesting picture! I am not really keen on the one with the butterflies, it looks to artificial for my taste. Though that is personal preference. For the first one I would have maybe used a stronger light and higher contrast in post to emphasize the leaf-veins (also that is personal preference).
Did you try using different colours of light?
