Beautiful shot Adrian! I just love all the detail and the placement of the flower's center. Great lighting and colors too. Did you take this indoors?

[Julie Kenward]

I remember (and loved!) this series! I think you might have saved the best for last. This is stunning. Please share the details of lighting, post-processing, etc. This is one flawlessly photographed flower, Adrian. Comp looks great, the angle is good, the lines on the diagonal...everything all works to lead your eye around this beautiful image. ;):D;)

[Adrian David]

Thank you very much!
Indeed, this shot was taken indoors, with natural light coming from a window! Not much to tell about PP. Conversion from RAW and WB, Levels in ACR. This is about 80% of the original image, cloned out a few pollen dots and some minor flaws on the flower petals.Sharpened with Genuine Fractals, then resizing and again sharpened with smart sharpening in CS4.

Adrian,

Like the color, contrast, sharpness and DOF here. Also love the composition as well.
Thanks for sharing....

This is a wonderful image. Hard to add to what's already been told. Love the placement and the light coming from around the stamen.

This is my kind of flower photo! Just lovely. I love the blues and purples, with that white stamen glowing. Beautiful light! Agree with what has been written above. :)

[Cindy Mead]

such gorgeous colors and I love your pov Adrian.. wonderful details, including the hint of sheen on the petals. A marvelous macro! :)

Hey Adrian,
Besides the excellent sharpness....the light glow really makes this for me!
