The soft pinks and yellows in the first photo are sublime.

My first floral shots at Longwood on Tuesday were taken under a cloudy sky. The colors were richer than the floral shots I took under a clear sky in the afternoon. Overcast = No harsh shadows. On the other hand, my landscapes and tree shots benefitted from the late afternoon sun.
