In the Spotlight

Minolta 200mm macro
ISO 200, 1/100 @ f11

Had some good light in the bathroom "studio" so got some portraits as well as abstracts of our tulips. Decided to apply the vignette for a slightly different look. All comments welcome. >=))>

WOW! Stunning, Bill - it looks as if the light comes from inside the tulip

You got some good mileage out of that tulip. Wonderful lighting! The frosted vignette is an elegant touch. Very well done, not too heavy handed.

Wonderful control of the light, Bill. The variations in tone and texture are a feast for the eye, especially around the petal rims. The vignetting and framing seem just right to me. Lovely !!!

This image is a great pleasure for my eyes and for my love for beauty. A photo with splendid colors, a very elegant background, a sweet light and an excellent composition. Everything is beautiful. Searching for a neat: some petal have a white border for blown-up light.A careful work with Clone can mend it; this splendid photo deserves some more work.
