The composition excels...nicely contrasted against the rough bark. White blossoms are tough, in my opinion...esp in full sun due to the dynamic range. You've done well.

I agree with Ken's comments. The light does look a little harsh, but handles pretty well.

Excellent blossom photo. I like the bright light and nice details. Only I don't like is the photo BG color. This military green doesn't suit to this fresh very nice flower.

Hi Sally

A beautiful composition of a beautiful blossom. , the light seems harsh, a difuser works wonders in the mid day sun.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I went to a Macro class yesterday and we used diffusers!! Aha!! so simple and yet so effective! Thanks for the suggestions! And Miro, when I read your post I thought you meant the bark of the tree was green, and wondered what was up with my monitor calibration.. anyway when I went in to take a look, I realized I had gone in to play with the "hex" color table,, I agree, the drab green isn't what I was looking for, so ended up just settling on black for the purposes of posting here! Good thing you are on your toes!
