Flower from the land of the Golden People

I have no idea how much I miss, "M.G.G."!!! This is so refreshing, Howard! The tone, the detail, the subject matter. The only thing I can think of is a tad of different crop. ^_^

Incredible lighting and detail

>>>>>>>

Gorgeous! Well placed in the frame. Perfect background!

excellent golden flower!!!!!

Again, sorry Wilson, I like the original crop. Howard, this is nice ... very aesthetically pleasing. I would like for the background to either be a tiny bit darker, or a tiny bit better defined. That's just nit-picky ... I really like this a lot!

Wilson, your version has not got enough breathing space...

 

It is a nice execution of the flower Howard.nice colors and good placing in space. Pnina

No cropping, Howard - works as is! Very nice effect and makes this looks like it was gold-dipped. I use this same technique on my distorted flowers.

VERY original well done Howard.

A fine detail, full of detail and with a great texture.

Respect! And let me add that pictures like this are a joy in daily life... RE

excellent job Howard!

How lovely, Howard! Very well executed and extremely creative. I also prefer your crop to Wilson's. Got to have some negative space!

Good picture, Congratulations...

So beautiful and soft and great details.

The tones in this capture are great. Thanks for sharing. chris

Howard, I immediately thought of your clematis when I spotted this. The toning is very effective and I like the slight tilt of the lily. The light has caught all the exquisite detail in the petals and other little bits. I can never remember exactly what's called what on a flower. Is this taken in situ?

Very well done..

Beautiful, very well done. Sondra
