i did two new flower shots today. This one also fits in for the WA topic "Patterns" so I posted the color version over there. http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/790303/0#lastmessage It is a little different from the other ones. Hope you like it.

An impressive series. Hard to chose one of them.

Perfection in symmetry. Beautiful image Endre

Wonderful control of light.

Thank you, Marcelo. I am glad you are enjoying all of them. I plan to do 25 or 30 of these for my exhibit next year. It's nice to know that I am on the right track.

All the best,

Endre

looks a bit over sharpened but what an image! can you get that blown detail back?

I think this is my favorite so far, looks just like the firework of the same name

Thanks, Martyn. I'm glad you like it and your suggestions are helpful. As I have explained before when the issue of over-sharpening comes up. I use Fred Miranda's WP Pro to resize for uploading here. It has three sharpening options and sometimes the "Low Sharpening" option is too much. I redid it for upload but it has nothing to do with the original image. As to the blown detail, if you mean the few tips on the right, since there is so little of it I think they add somewhat to the pop of the image. I guess it is an artistic decision. I tried to enhance the detail on the left side which may have helped a bit.

All the best,

Endre

Beautiful! What lense did you use?
