I really like the abstract shapes of the leaf-edges & the way they dissolve into the deep shadows, Andrew.
But how one could reconcile the above with the loss of highlight detail in the two main flowers, I don't know!
Great composition.
Roger.

The more I look, the more there is to see!

That's one of the problems with a very small sensor, Roger. It's so hard to hang onto highlight detail without introducing lots of noise into the shadows. This was the "best" of three images with masses of negative exposure compensation. I don't need 14 mp; I do need a wide dynamic range!

Very eautiful picture, but requires a different treatment ...
The dynamic range can be a little "pull"

Nice capture, Andrew. I like the nice lights and contrast.
