Gus, beautifully done composition....everything seems to work together quite well. I might like to see a little more detail in the foreground flower but as is it is very very nice!

you chose your elements well and blended them perfectly. do i detect some texture to the bg? really nice work. creative to the max!

[Gus Cobos]

You are absolutely correct my good Doctor...the background has texture...:D:cool:

Boy Gus, I would never guess that this was a composite image. It's totally seamless. I really appreciate how much control you have over your image-making and the thought that must go into your images. I'm learning just from reading your tech notes.

Did you use the cloudy white balance to warm up the tones in your capture?
Thanks, Ron
