[Roman Kurywczak]

OK Jules.....heres a waterllilly since you get creeped out by the spiders! Tis' the season....Longwood Gardens......as always I opt for huge DOF!

Roman, The details you got on this are terrific! Nice lighting and the center of your flower glows. Very nice composition.

Roman,

I keep coming back to this image looking for something to say. All I keep coming up with is "perfect"!

[Roger Williams]

Great lighting, comp and DOF, Roman. A superb image!

[Ramesh Adkoli]

Fantastic image, Roman. Crispiness of everything in this image stunned me. Great light control and exposure. Congrats for a perfect image. TFS.

regards,
ramesh

Roman,

This is outstanding. I really like flash photos that look natural. Great details. Love the D.R. with your technique, Sigma 180 & 1D Mk 111. Way to go.

Please keep 'em coming....

Beautiful, That's all I have to say:D

[Julie Kenward]

Yeah baby...now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Not a bug in sight! They didn't tell me that I'd be critiquing bugs and creepy crawlies and lizards and SNAKES when I offered to moderate in macro. I guess I should be more careful next time...

Well, this is a humdinger of an image, Roman. Seriously, how could it be better? The lighting is phenomenal. The water drops are clear and crisp. The details on everything else are razor sharp. You're making me almost want to break out my tripod now and again...

[Ed Cordes]

Love it! The large DOF is perfect but the water droplets put it over the top.

[Grace Scalzo]

Stunning, Roman. All the above from me too....

[Adrian David]

Wow!!!
Superb colors, details, composition...Beautiful flower, ant the leaf is "the cherry on the cake".

This is a wonderful image Roman, DOF and water droplets really enhance the overall image
