Spectacular, Gary. Fantastic detail and a very pleasing overall shape with the stamens adding some nice graceful lines. This one is almost as good as your 2011 EP Lily flora radiograph. My only minor issue with this one is the cut off stem which makes the flower look, well, cut off at the head. Nice job with the processing.

Scott:
These are very large flowers and the 4 blooms on the stalk could not fit on the X-ray plate so I had to cut them off. The single bloom covers almost the entire sensor. I have tried to lengthen the stem but did not make it long enough. Will do it for the archival copy.
Michael:
I was working on high key images trying to show the translucency of flowers that was seen in Harold Davis work and it hit on me that X-ray would be able to penetrate the tissue to produce transparent looking images. It was a eureka moment for me and I am lucky that the radiographers at our hospital are receptive to the idea.

Look forward to seeing your X-ray work.

Gary, this is a beautiful capture. I've seen several variaions of an amaryllis done through a radiographic process and this one is the best one yet. What I especially like about this one is the eveness of tone across the petals and the translucency. How much latitude do you have in setting the material on the plate and getting the POV/pose you want or desire?

Gary: Glad your radiology guys caught up. I love how the delicate veins in the petals show up. Most excellent. >=))>

The technique works superbly on this flower, Gary - I love how the stamens seem to dance before the gauzy fan-like petals. Very beautiful !

Bob:
Most of the 'failures' in my radiographic images have been poor arrangement/POV. I can take as much time as I like in positioning the flower on the plate but there is always some pressure in a working department where patients and radiographers time takes precedent (and rightly so).

The flower dances throughout the frame. The bright whites are like the body and the transparent petals are the diaphanous gown flowing around the twirling dancer. Fabulous!

Gary, this is just stunning. It gives us a look into Mother Nature's fine work, the details in the petals, and the stamens are wonderful. There are so many ways to capture an image but I'm really drawn to this process. Beautiful.
