Hi Richard,
I like your composition and subject matter. The reds are not blown and you have good details. Question? The more I look at the flower, the more I see that the image is a bit flat. What color space are you using?
RGB or sRGB? This is a RAW image converted to jpeg?
Hi Richard that is correct Moving he flash around will give you shadows Worth experimenting.
For this image would consider stopping down for max dof Would really like seeing it all sharp. Can go a lot higher with the ISO in your camera and sure like the reds !!! Just perfect !!!
