After Dark

Taken after nightfall to see how using flash on plants look. I don't know what kind of tree this is but I liked the new growth!

Something different...

David, I can't help you with use of flash, but I really like the green against the black, and I really like the lines of this image. The lines are very appealing.

Hey David, nice sharp details and mice job with the flash not blowing anything out.

David,

i like the composition and it's certainly an interesting looking subject. For my tastes, I'd probably use a little lower exposure or else darken or clone over the brightest area of the branch. Interesting image and good technique.

Dave: I generally don't care much for fully flashed Flora shots but this one works well for me. The lack of harsh shadows is the difference and you don't have any blown highlights. Well done.>=))>
