Another good on Gus, love DOF and the detail. The BG on the left lower corner, I don't like very how you PS it.

[Katie Rupp]

Such vibrant colors on this one, Gus. I agree that the lower left corner looks a little strange.

Hi Gus, have to agree with Katie and Alberto on the left corner. Beautiful colours on this one.

Way to go Gus. Love the color and crispness! You've heard everything else about the lower left. I need to stand closer to you to see how you get such great detail......

Great colors and composition. I see what everyone is saying on the left side of the flower. Do you want an appt. with my eye doctor this week?????????????????????

Lovely Gus! Great colors and sharp! Agree on the left corner, and maybe just me but seems there is some noise/grain that isn't the norm in your images?
