The colours and the textures are beautiful on this Bill. I tried to make it a little more dramatic and sharpened it a bit. Not sure if it works for you or not.
Thanks everyone. There is so much you can do with this subject. The color was a little less saturated in each of the images I combined, but when combined themore intense red emerged. I'm very new to Photomatix so I don't know if this was a normal result. I didn't add any color, just performed the usual work flow.
Great composition Bill,
I like the color rendition and textures created in the capture. Lady Jackie, I also like your bold vibrant interpetation...;):cool:
