Bill: I like this one more than the previous one. I also like the backlighting effect and the irregular shadow adds interest. Execellent :toast:

Well, I'll be a big flower sniffing dog. It's a delicious color.

Excellent comp and detail, Bill. I also like how the shadow lines play an important part of the image. Another winner.

I love tulips backlit and these are casting some really cool shadows. A great grouping, especially with the tilt. I might clone out the touch of black in the URC, but that's minor. Wonderful spring image Bill (is it spring in Texas?).

Superb composition Bill - no surprise there. The comp and the lighting make the image for my tastes. Love the shadows but also the sharp focus on the edge of the petals in the upper right. I do agree with David about the little black corner and I might also darken the bright white reflection on that same horizontal line. Gorgeous image.

Hi Bill :wavey: Orange color tones to die for :eek: Detail and light to die for, Except to tone down that reflection on the O F flower on the left. A microscopic nit. :biggrin: Beautiful work.

Like the play of forms here very much, Bill - and the shadowed elements set off the detail in the highlights beautifully.
