Nikon D600 150mm macro f/20 @ 1/4 sec iso 500 ev +1.3 tripod .. cable release . done inside by a large bay window. small gold reflector

A more in your face, less subtle presentation. it's remarkable to see how the change of light effects the image from my last post... please see the large version, comments appreciated

Sweet! I like the subtle details in the white petals. The diagonal lines make this a strong composition.

The yellows in this image look slightly greenish compared to the first shot, maybe it's my eyes. I also think a little more fill light on the face of the flowers might be nice, but that's a personal preference.

Just beautiful, Albert! I was comparing this one with your previous and they are both stunning images. I think I like the less intense lighting a bit better on this one though. More details of the flowers are visible too. But. . .both are just great! Good handling of the whites and nice sharp details throughout. Well done!

Wonderful portrait Albert. Detail, composition and light are all top shelf in my opinion.

Albert: I think I prefer this one a tiny bit over the first primarily due to the orientation of the flower. Really well done. >=))>

There's a little more for my eye to grab a hold of in this image compared with your recent image, Albert. I like this one very much.
