3 Columbines
I photographed these beauties in my backyard with a great deal of waiting for lulls in the wind
Nikon D3s
1/15 sec at f16
ISO 1600
105 macro
tripod
Processed in fractilius ...followed by color efex low key to tone down brightness. Sorry about the lines on the edges
Comments welcome!
Bob, I think this is lovely and I really like the black background. I might evict the little columbine at the bottom left - it seems to unbalance the image a little bit to me. But that's just my opinion. You can paint the lines on the edges - it might be tedious but worth it. I also would paint the little light area underneath the bottom left leaf above the bottom buds.
It's a beautiful image and would look nice on your wall

Very nice Bob. The black background really shows off the columbine. There are numerous lighter areas around and above the buds in the LLC that you may want to darken, along with the lines on the edges.
It's a pretty image
Bob, Very nice work! The lines and flow are lovely. I do see the lighter areas that Maureen mentioned. I might evict the larger bud on the bottom edge and leave the small one on the left if it were mine. It just seems cut off. Wonderful image!!
Very nicely done, Bob, like the color, light and your subtle filtering work. Stands out so well with black bg. Agree bottom left is a little distracting, but very nice work!
I think your patience and effort paid off. This is really beautiful. The light is to die for.
This is a lovely composition. I like that you combined flowers with seed pods. The black bg makes the colors stand out. Nicely done.
