Nice, clean look at this columbine, Barb. I like the separation/isolation from the bg. The light is just a bit strong for my tastes as the flower is kind of bright and shiny but that is pretty subjective. My main suggestion is to lower the iso but may not have been possible (maintaining all the same shooting specs) if you had no tripod.

A strong and simple comp. You might try pulling down on the highlight/white sliders.

Barb, this is simple and clean. Good DOF and background. I agree with Scott about the light.

A very nice columbine portrait. I too agree with Phil about the highlights.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments and advice. Here is the image with the highlights darkened by 10%.

Beautifully done, Barb - nice composition, fine, crisp detail and the perfect background. I like the repost that much better.

Barb: Really nice job on this with some tough lighting. Beautiful subject well rendered. Even better on the repost. >=))>
