With all the cram shots being posted, I had to join the party...with rhodies crammed into a pewter punch bowl. :jump:

Gorgeous work Bob, complete with the hallmark bloom on the table. Superb, no suggestions.

Not the image, the title. The image is just art!

Bob:
Just fabulous. Pristine blooms and beautiful arrangement. The single one on the table is a nice touch.

I like this image a lot so I hope you don't mind if I am super-picky on this one. The light gradient between the left and right is quite high and probably more than 1.5-2 stops which is not the issue but some of the white on the blooms on the left are blown or pretty close to be blown - maybe some adjustment in recovery may help. Also I would like to suggest a slight crop along the lower edge to just the edge of the table to remove the single highlight line; crop up to the cut off reflection of the single bloom.

LOL! Nice 'cram' shot Bob. :smile: A very pretty arrangement of these rhodies. I like the bloom laying on the table.

Bob: Great play on words and a superb shot to boot. I like the directional lighting and like Pat I also like the single bloom on the table. Magnificent shot. >=))>

Yes, this is a "cram shot" is their ever was one. Really well composed Bob and so well presented against the black BG.
Just Beautiful!

Funny, Bob. :biggrin: Beautiful picture of rhodies "crammed" in a bowl. I like the contrast with the ferns included. Wonderful detail on the flowers. I'm a obsessive picture straigtener (restaurants, friends homes, etc. :rolleyes: ) so to me the bottom part looks a little skewed, needing a slight tilt to the left. However, maybe it is straight and the reflection is making it look that way. Irregardless this is a beautiful picture!
