    Lovely image Gus. The whites are great, and the sharp focus of the fore leaf is stunning.
    I can never get enough of your painted ladies.

    love the crisp edges on the forepetals - if that's a word - and how it softens as it deepens. the stem at the bottom is pretty cool too. dont ask me why. i just like it!! and i think the multicolored bg helps balance the image a bit. well done!!

    I like this too for the reasons noted above. If possible, please post 400 pixel versions of the two ORIG images In consecutive panels below) so that we can try to understand what you did. I am thinking that a bit lighter overall might work well also.

    Great shot Gus. Wish I could double expose in camera. You'll have to show me how you do it, focus point etc. Congrats!
