JulianBurke 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Beautifully soft. I just finished critiquing another soft flower saying all macros don't need to be sharp and here you prove the point. Well done. Link to comment
sonneland 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Leo, this is a very nicely constructed image, to me has more of a star trek feeling than floral, also had a look at your fanning out image, your compositions always seem to be well thought out and executed. Link to comment
wogears 186 Posted April 23, 2009 Veru beautiful color, and there IS sharpness where it's needed. Link to comment
t37traveler 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Extraordinary lighting - it truly appears luminescent. Lovely, gentle hues and lines - wonderful dof. the pistil is magical - I expect it to start moving and extend beyond the flower. Great piece of work! Link to comment
giuseppe_pasquali 0 Posted April 23, 2009 one very very much. The use of light is extremely appealing to my eyes. Thank you for sharing, Giuseppe Link to comment
leo burkey 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Thank you very much for your comments. I blended a soft copy with a sharp one to try and have the best of two worlds. It seems to me that these types of flower images have greater impact with a soft glow.I did however sharpen the pestle. Link to comment

leo burkey 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Thank you for your kind comments. I shot from underneath the flower with a overcast early morning sky shining through the pedals which produced a wonderful glow. Link to comment
