John: GREAT teasel shot. Love the comp and the detail you got out of the stack and the colors. One small point you might check; the BG in the triangle formed by the middle and right stems is not quite black. When I run the cursor over that section it shows about 25 units of red. Your penalty for this faux pas is to send me a corrected 16x20. I'll get my own frame.

Beautiful work. >=))>

I can see why it's a favorite John. This is a very fine image for my tastes. Exceptional detail, strong comp, unobtrusive light and with the minor exception that Bill noted a complementary supporting bg. Gorgeous work.

I like every thing about this image. The colors really stand out from the background. The only nit is the already mentioned area that is not quite black.

Thanks all.
Bill -thanks for that. I,ve realised what it was . There was a small area of light reflecting off the black cloth which I tried to darken- obviously not very well. There are also one or two bits on the right too which are not pure. I am slightly red /green colour blind and interestingly I can't see any difference until I use the dropper. Must try it more often.

Cheers

Outstanding! Great color and the black background really makes them pop. Excellent detail as well. And your comp is perfect.

John, Very nice work. The teasel stands out very nicely from the BG.

A beautiful composition John and an even more beautiful (can I say?) light.
Take care.
