Albert - Beautiful portrait of the Trillium. Specially like the deep maroon color for the petals and excellent details captured on them. Square Crop is a great choice as well :toast:

Nice job, Albert. The details on the image are fine and as Ram noted, I too like the square format. I also like how the BG reflects the colors in the subject flower.

The center of the Trillium pops out but otherwise, I feel the image in the smaller image is flat. But that's a personal bias on my part. The larger image looks so much better and I'm sure the original is fine.

Thanks for the visit and I thoroughly enjoyed your comments. I hope to post more but for the next two weeks, I'll be packing for my next move--back to Utah.

Cheers,
Carol

I sure like the DOF you've captured Albert. Superb portrait in my opinion.

Elegantly presented…and a real beauty. Nice deep color which pops the pistols nicely.

Albert: This is excellent. We don't get these in our part of the world so this is a nice treat. Nicely done. >=))>
