Sandy: Great to have you back here; I thought your photography was going to the birds :wink:. Lovely stem and excellent DOF management. I think this would work better for me if it was significantly brighter and more high key but I do like it as is. >=))>

Wonderful detail and composition Sandy. I would like to see this as Bill suggested, but, I feel you might suffer some detail. Great work in my opinion.

This has a unique, old fashioned botanical drawing plate look to it, Sandy. Well done. :toast:

Sweet, Sandy. Perfect dof. Is the bg natural, or did you put something behind the plant? It looks like an old fashioned botanical illustration.

Bill, sorry to have neglected the Flora forum! A trip to Florida primarily to visit my parents resulted in lots of bird images, but only a few flowers. I'll be more fair to Flora!

A very elegant image, Sandy, with delicate colors and a great harmony. Something different, like an old botanist picture.
