Nikon D300, Sigma 150. F/20, 1/10, ISO 200.

Taken in my garden in June. I find the lines and color very extravagant, hope you agree. Comments appreciated.

I like the composition very much Albert. The color in the flowers actually looks a touch flat on my MacBook. I'd be curios if some curves wouldn't make them pop a little more. Other than that no suggestions.

I agree. Seen pink-white combination personally but not the pink yellow. Looks real great on my monitor, Albert. You can use selective color option in Photoshop and add some blacks to the pinks and yellows - may remove the flatness Pat is speaking of.

Lovely irrespective

These are gorgeous Albert. The warm lights give these a nice glow and details are good. Might consider removing the triangular purple petal near the lower edge.

Nice composition and good DOF, Albert.
I'm curious too if some adjustment wouldn't make the flowers pop a little more.

Viewed on my Nec monitor the flower color is spot on. Good detail and exceptionally pretty flowers.

Quite an extravaganza, Albert. The colors are beautiful. The drops of water an added plus.

I wonder if this wouldn't make a fine candidate for Lab Color Sharpening. I learned about the process from Jamie.

Happy shooting ;^)
