    Playing around with my D3s and high ISO I was shooting ( HH) my garden in the dim light after sunset. I processed to open the shadows and emphasize the lines [ Topaz ?] . I liked the symmetry of lines in this shot.

    Hey Bob,
    Isn't high ISO grand!!! I love this! The play of light and shadows is fantastic! Only recommendation I have is to darken the one backside of the bud....heading out of bottom frame. Very well seen and great execution!

    Roman beat me to it, Bob...I love the pattern created by the leaves, and my only comment is to eradicate the background leaf at the bottom of the frame...that little bit of bright green leading out of the frame keeps drawing my eye down. Nice capture!

    I also love this one...but wish that bottom tip hadn't gotten cut off of the frame. Everything else works for me but I would suggest a bit more sharpening - maybe here and there so as not to diminish the shadowed parts of the plant.

    Hi Bob. I love the colors and patterns on this one! I, too, am bothered a little by the leaf almost touching the frame at the bottom - an easy fix if you just add a little canvas down there. Very well done!

    The above pretty well cover it. Good work. I might run a high pass with it just to make it pop a little.

    I, too, like the lines in this shot, and the high contrast! I wish there were a little more room top, bottom and right so the tips were not cut off. Well seen and captured.
