Asiatic Lily

Another from my indoor shoot last week. Viveza, Nik midnight, darken/lighten, and skylight filters applied. I had thought of cropping a bit off the bottom, but for some reason I keep losing my cropping tool in CS4 ?? The cropping icon just disappears.

Kathy: Wonderful tight view and great lighting. Could you have accidentally engaged your CAPS lock? Most icons revert to a tiny crosshair when it is on and it can be hard to see. >=))>

Terrific shot, Kathy. I like the bold orange color against the dark BG.

Sweet capture Kathy! You "see" in ways I don't. I wouldn't see to get that close and come out with a striking image like you do. You go girl (UGG). I like your frame or border too! I've seen that somewhere else here.

Kathy, For me the photo works as presented. By cropping some from the bottom you would lose the other petal curve on the left. Super rich colors here and its sharp as a knife

Kathy:
Very nicely done close-up. Look good as it is without the crop. Great lighting as well.

Great lighting and color...the black BG works well. My only suggestion would be to clone out the green stem that's showing in the very LRC....my eye keeps going over there....maybe it's just me. Nice work!

The lighting here is just fantastic and the black BG works beautifully with the orange of the lily, Kathy. My only suggestion; and this is just a personal preference; would be to clone out the green stem in the LRC.
