Really liking this capture, Eric!

Symmetrical and balance - very nice sharpness.

Looking a bit muddled, though. Play around with your levels and you'll get some better tonality.

Food for thought below.

Cheers!

Jeff

Yeah, the levels looked ok on my Cinema display but when I posted the file and viewed it on my laptop, it looked a lot darker.

Thanks for your input.

re-work improves, IMO. Need masking for the now blown areas

Beautiful comp. Maybe less on each side?

I like Jeff's rework and it is a great capture. Those high end monitors may be a bad way to prepare stuff for web. I have the same problems some times.

This morning my wife walked by and commented:

"That's a nice picture. You should find out the flower's name."
Me: "His name is Bob."
Wife: "Really? That was the name at the garden?"
Me: Rolling my eyes
Wife: "Would you quit messing with me?" and stomped off.

Or, you could hit it with the USM at 16, 60, 0, twice to heighten parts and darken others by boosting mid-tone contrast, and add a bit of counterclockwise rotation to give the centered composition a touch more dynamic feel:

Thought I'd let you know I just learned this photo earned 3rd Place in the California State Fair: Adult B&W Still Life category. I truly appreciate everyone's support and critiques.

WooHoo!
