Hi Danny. Great colors and background and a very effective use of DOF. I think I would prefer a bit more room all around, but that is a matter of personal taste. Well done.

Thanks Steve - I definitely shot it a little tight. I thought that might slip by everybody.:D This is full frame though so we'll have to put a fork in it and call it done.

I think you could add a little more canvas to the right side and find it makes quite a difference - that really is the only border that's cutting it extremely close.

Excellent DOF, Danny and nice exposure on the flower...those tend to blow out easily so kudos to you for doing such a nice job!

I haven't added canvas yet in CS4 so another good instructional opportunity for me as I learn the program. Yes!

Danny, go to the educational forum - there's at least one great tutorial there on how to easily add canvas!

Great color combination. Excellent DOF. Lovely presentation. I'm the odd one out thinking that the green is just a bit too green--I tend to look at it before I look at the flowers.

Danny,

Great color contrast and use of selective focus. Thanks for sharing...
