Pretty neat Denise! I like the way you got seperation between the blooms and the BG is nice and soft. Am debating the LL corner and toning down a hair....but still nicely done!...Hey!....aren't you supposed to go to f22:D?

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely colours and detail Denise. I like the arrangement and use of natural light. Well done. Dave

I'm with Roman on the yellow corner and where is your f22? You tend to shoot pretty soft most of the time...I really expected to see you go out into the deep end of the pool with me. :D:eek::D

I love the monochromatic look to this...

Julie,Roman-I usually shoot all my macro from f/2.8-f/22 -then decide after I put them in LR2 which to keep,as was the same for this. I liked the Lady's Mantle but didn't like how busy f/22 made it appear. Having only one time to shoot-I had to go for broke!!!
The light corner I felt balanced the image-but after looking at it a few times I think you guys are right.
