    Was motivated to post this after seeing all the cool tight shots in this forum. HH Canon EOS 7D with 180mm macro and twin-lite flashes -1 2/3 diffused, ISO 400, f/22, 1/200.

    Very well done, Nick. Strong composition--I like that the center is closer to bottom and left than to top since camera angle makes it appear to be facing up and right. Good, non-obvious use of flash resulting in soft shadows, negligible specular highlights, and an overall soft overcast day appearance. Colors, textures, DOF all superb. Flower species?

    Hey Nick,
    This one isn't easy to keep the reds in check....which you did very well. Great job with the comp too. Go in at 300 or 400% and clean up the few stragler highlights....and this one is then perfect!

    Well done all around. Agree on the flash highlights.

    Hi Nick. Good comp, great colors, and the perfect amount of sharpness. The specular highlights, in this case, are not a big deal to me - but I do think the image would be even stronger without them. Very well done.
