Gary another lovely image , I just love all the pedal detail ,especially the dots on the pedals they look like little stars. Very fitting that this is a stargazer Lily ! Beautiful work as always. I think this is my favorite one to date!

Simply fantastic. The your frame fits the shape so well. I especially like all the little dots near the center of the bloom.

I know this is my favorite of yours and that is saying something since I like them all. Both versions are excellent and so very interesting. You could be a millionaire if you could develop a relatively inexpensive camera to allow others to do similar work. You never fail to provide new photographic experiences.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Really appreciate the feedback and encouragement. Just want to let you know there are a lot of duds along the way. Was trying to do a seedhead composite including the lily seedhead without much success last Monday. Still a lot of trial & errors as one never know how radio-opaque the subject is before hand.
Charles:
You won't want to mesh around with Xray and certainly don't want to be holding the camera in the path of the rays.
Ram:
I have the same problem.  Sometimes I just can't decide which version I like so I post them both and pass the confusion to the forum

Gary, I have very little time for photos in this period, so I have seen very few works with Xray. This one is surely beautiful. I love the positive version just as much.
Take care.

Hey, Gary! I'm a Radiologist & I wondered for some time if people would start posting X-ray images. Maybe Ultrasound will be next. The fine details here are stunning & it's a great choice of subject. Looking forward to more of your wonderful work in 2012.
