Lovely, Barb. Wonderful light in this one and I love that one broken off stamen in the middle and all the pollen on the petals. The dof is perfect. Well done.

Well shown and seen against the dark BG. The whites are under control, the detail is sharp, but the light is a bit harsh. Well handled and processed though.

What has been said; radiant dynamic range, wonderful sharpness throughout, great texture from the lighting, and beautiful color contrast.

Barb: One of my favorite subjects superbly captured. I rather like this kind of light when it is handled so well and the myriad little details put this over the top. Really nice image.>=))>
