Thanks all - You make me want to go out & stack some more :)

The magenta hairs were the draw. Used a MPe to get in close. Comments

appreciated.

Stacked image - I was drawn in by the hairs on top of the petals.

Comments appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words Lynne

I really liked the softness of the pinks receding towards the top.

Comments appreciated.

Andy,

Excellent & brilliant, not necessarily in that order. Lovely, simple curves & great use of null space. Keeping the color palette limited helped to accentuate the image. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Thank you one & all for your comments. If/when I get a chance to photograph gills, I will try some of the suggestions.

Rick

Excellent clip - Thanks for looking Len

Robin,

Listen to Roberto. Great image, lovely soft tones, good composition. It stands on its own.

Rick

two slime molds. Ceratiomyxa is usually white, this one is a yellow

morph. The Stemonitis is still forming its sporangia. Comments

appreciated.

Vlad - Thanks for looking & commenting

Katarzyna,

You captured the moment excellently. Sheer youthful exuberance, truly excellent. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Len,

I like the limited soft pallet of the image. Details outstanding, exposure & DOF spot on. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Cliff,

Color, bold color. Exposure is spot on, hard to keep the orange in that harsh light without blowing it out. Well done.

Rick

Caught this image after our tie with Portugal. We had gone to see the

game on a jumbotron, As the disappointied crowd was leaving, a few

started their own game.

The texture was what had caught my eye. Thanks for looking.

Tom,

Nice strong image, very expressive. Exposure spot on, details excellent. B&W was a good choice here. Well done.

Rick

Konstantin,

Interesting image. I like the curved lines & your choice of B&W was a good one. Well done.

Rick

Stefano,

Well done, exposure is spot on in rather tricky lighting. Great mixture of circles & lines. Good eye for this one.

Rick

Vikas,

Lovely, soft subtle lighting. You positioned the light well to gently bring out the highlights of the petals. Well done & thanks for this one.

Rick

Andy,

The strong linear elements with the arcs o top would make this a strong image. Conceptualizing it a a cage and adding a rather aggravated feline gives this image its edge. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Michael,

Nicely executed. Colors are great, but the shapes receding draw the eye in. The linear elements in the hexagons line up perfectly   Alot of work, but helps this image to sand out. Thank for this one.

Rick

Barbara,

Simple, subtle, & quite Zen-ish. Limited tonal values keeps the image simple, & the double exposure gives a feeling of slow movement. Well done.

Rick

Marco,

As Jim said, Well seen. You saw the concept & executed it nicely. I think the image at a diagonal works much better than if it had been horizontal. Well done.
