another from the pond

[Alberto Oria]

This beauties were at pine crest gardens.
Pentax K10d,sigma 70 f2.8 macro, ISO 400, multi-segment metering, 1/250, f 8, tripod, no flash.
This is one of the first times I do some pp, Shapen, burning, saturation , blacks, crop etc.
I am almost ashamed of that much tweaking, I hope it is not spoiled:D.
Comments and critique are highly appreciated.

Love it Alberto One of your best !!!! About the only think I would do is having a little more room on the right, seems a little tight and wish the second flower center was totally visible !!!

Love the work you guys are doing !!! Particularly like the feel !!!

[Alberto Oria]

Thank you for the cc, I am going to try again next week

[Harold Davis]

[Alberto Oria]

I think it looks better now. Thanks for the tip. What do you think?

[Nonda Surratt]

I really like the extra room on the right!!! That is one super cool flower!

[Katie Rupp]

Yup! the repost with more room on the right is an improvement and the flowers are sharp.
