Seen in the garden this morning. K20D, Sigma 50 macro. Very little PP, levels minimal sharpening after resizing. Some bits cloned away.

Feel free to rip into it!

No need for ripping with this one Mike - that's a keeper.

I don't think there is much to 'rip' into.

I might be tempted to darken the bright bits in the background, top centre, but otherwise I like it

That's just brilliant focussing, Mike!
They seem to have a tearful conversation
Best regards

Galoot: I have already cloned out some bits there and was hesitant to manipulate it further. But I think I may try that.

Given hand held it is sharp but at 1/250th it should be.

With ADR Mike, its a stonking good image.

Well sorted and photographed.

Excellent.
Too far from a shore.

Aside from having a slightly larger DOF I think its pretty good.

Tough call on the DOF as that would then make the background sharper and more intrusive. I was going for a quite limited DOF on purpose and tried one shot with just the tops of the petals in focus which was not a success.

Lovely shot. Galoot's suggestion seems a good one.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
