    Beautiful! I especially like the last one - the clarity is is great and the water drop just makes it! thumb.gif

    Yo Jack,

    This is impressive production. Your choice of DOF is spot on. Overall...exceptional.bowdown.gifbow

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    The proof of the value is definitely there in every example. Totally nice
    effort results. clap.gif HOT!
    What lens did you put to this work? The sharp is outstanding. Especially
    given the cropping. thumb.gif
    I have photomatix but I have practically never used it save to see what
    defaults would do. Going to have to break it out now and get serious. :D:D
    Been then I generally need to get serious. I'm slacking.

    Thanks Eia. #4 is a favorite of mine too. I especially like it for the shadows of the stamens on the flower petals.

    Hi Jack, I like them all - but the first one is stunning - and the last one is stunning X2. The processing and clarity is spot on.

    Cheers, Richard.

    Howdy Jack,

    These are beautiful, love the rich colors, and subtle tones in them, and the sharpness of details really tops it off.

    Wonderful captures!!!
    Take care,

    Hi Michael
    Thanks for the compliments. I used a Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 ED on a D700
    Just jump in an play with the sliders a bit to see what they do. Go with whatever effect pleases you.

    #1 is great! But you should crop it a bit to get rid of that green plant on the edge. Just my $.02
