I found a nice batch of Columbine at Raven Run overlooking the Kentucky River. Man I love the woods! I shot several comps with and without a black BG. This is an early favorite from today. C&C always appreciated.

These are some of my favorite flowers, and you have a nice composition here (personally, I like something in the background). It's hard to tell, but there may be a bit of a yellow cast to the image.

Nice shot, Dominic. I prefer natural backgrounds like the one in this shot. Now this is being nitpicky, but the only thing you might change is to clone out some of the dark specks on the flower petals. Good job.

Dominic, after seeing the great shots you are posting from Kentucky, we may have to have a gathering up there soon. I really like your composition on this one.
