spectacular. Great dark backgrounds. Your treatment is some of the best Ive seen. Minor nitpick would be a little more room space between where the flower ends and the frame. Otherwise these are pure flower candy, (and I'm not one for flower macros either.)

Mic,

You floral escapades are one of the real treats which I look forward to on this site. Beautiful, descriptive and sensuous. You capture it all.

May I ask, have you used, or considered using, the 85mm PC Macro lens? I somehow feel that it could work wonders with altered planes of focus on this subject material.

Thanks for brightening my morning.

Absolutely fabulous mic #2 and #1 are my favs. I think in both they would, IMHO, benefit in terms of visual impact with a bit of left side cropping just to remove a little of the blackness that, although alluring and mysterious does tend to distract, for me anyway, from the glorious tulip itself. All in all absolutely brilliant. Got to try some myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

cheers

I've got to say mic that these are just superb. Beaded Tulip is one of the best shots of flowers I have ever seen. The lighting is so delicately perfect, the image as sharp as a Saville Row suit.
Can you please let me know how you lit this, because I cannot achieve this localised light area with dark background.
Are you using standard house lamps or an sb800 with a snoot?

Brilliant - I would say that these would win POTW.

Thanks Muzza22au, :wink:
Thanks HB, :wink:
Thanks Mudder, :wink:
Thanks dooda, :wink: Yes I agree with the more room, have to work on that.
Thanks B&S, :wink: Getting a 30 X 30 done for the ceiling of the bedroom :lol:
they smell beautiful, or is that WW.
Thanks SS, :wink: That is very flattering :wink:
I will have to look into that Lens, oops sorry :roll:
Thanks marcotrov, I don't think I have ever inspired anybody before, cheers mate.
:wink:
Thanks rokkstar, or should I say HoffStar, he was just on Rove, very funny too.
I actually dropped the levels on this number so the already darkish background went black, applied some Omni Light from PS but not too much, then brought the Levels back up a bit, sharpened, cloned out any other tit bits & wella

That won was from a bounced SB800 in my kichen, no fancy studio, just passion & some imagination I suppose :roll:

Thanks wendell, :wink: I was a girl in my previous life :roll:

Thanks LOZ, :wink: I think I have squashed them all now. :roll:

Thanks all.

Now back to work on my erotic little Tulipa's :shock:
