Seems that people are split on this one... as I would have expected. Thanks for commenting! The bleary-eyed feeling is probably pretty accurate alright… except that I don’t like coffee!

The ambient light and lack of detail gives the photo that feeling of just having awakened and you're looking at the sun lit flower bleary-eyed while drinking your first cup of morning coffee. Or maybe I'm still angry from my last photo shoot and my poor off camera lighting skills. I like the detail the flash provides but prefer the color palette of the natural light.

Why I'd like to try with a second light for the background is to see if I could mimic the ambient light shot exactly with flash as an exercise in controlling light.

Makes the flower pop out a little more than the ambient light one. I like the flash lit one BECAUSE the background is dark. Makes the flower pop out a little more than the ambient light one.
