Hi all.

Sorry for my absence, I have been shooting some, and processing less than that - but I wanted to share a few of what I have been doing.

I loved the shape of the petals in this bloom.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Nikon D7000, Sigma 180 macro, tripod, ISO 400, f22, processed in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.

I also posted a photo art version of this one in Photo Art.

A beautiful return Nathan! The design of the composition is splendid. This photo proves that even in a macro it is possible to create a sense of depth. The contrasts are impressive and the dark colors are vivid and beautiful. I love the photo Nathan. No nit for me, but wait for Phil.
