Ranunculus #1

From the "light box diaries" here's one that was inspired by the work of Christopher Beane. I think his work is just outstanding and very motivational.

Absolutely perfect!
:toast:

Whenever I need inspiration I take out my book of Mr. Beane's pictures, and remember just what I'm striving for. You've done him proud with this one! If you would care to share your set up I'd appreciate an email.

I love the whites, and the look to the center is awesome Bob. Nice folds in the petals too. I this were mine I would clone out the little bits of dust on the petals.

I saw a very similar photo in C Beane's gallery - I think you have done exceedingly well. The center is highly attractive.

Hi Bob,
The whites are very nice. The upper part at the top and left add a nice bit of depth and the center is just outstanding.
