Next in the series. It's amazing to me the amount of variety in terms of colour you get with this strain.

Real nice color and detail Bob, and really stands out against the black BG. Great job.

I don't know how you find flowers that are this perfect. Beautiful shot. The detail is remarkable, and your lighting is perfect.

I don't know what happened to my message so I guess I'll write another one. This shot has a great artistic look to it which is very appealing. The detail is just lovely. I would consider feathering the very outside edge just a tad to blend it more into the background. I see a bit of white outline on the right outside edge. Fantastic shot Bob!

Stunning detail in this beauty and the black BG is the perfect canvas for the vivid red color. This is nicely done, Bob.

Bob, this is another great shot. Jeez...send me the tiff to fill up my monitor and w/o the compression loss in jpeg. Orange is my fav color for digital display on screen ...this illustrates why.

You did such a great job of capturing the detail. The color is beautiful, and the flower really stands out against the black background. Great job.

Sweet image Bob. Reminds me of a botanical print. You've captured the variation in color very well. :cool:

Bob, Very nice details and color. I love the BG and the way it makes the flower pop. I do see some faint edging on the right. Excellent image.
