    Very nice! #2 thru #6 feels overexposed....I like them, but I would try to darken them a bit so that color pop out more ... all very sharp I like them, good series.....your macro papers are renewed with flying colors IMO

    Ciao

    Thanks Gatto!! I think you are right about #2 to #6. I wanted to find happy medium between keeping the pop and balance it with contrast, leaned towards bright, perhaps too much. I have room to take them down a notch, however, I also think that monitor differences may also be playing a role. I will rework them!

    Glad my papers are good now!wings.gif
    Your work is part of the inspiration....both posted here and on Flicker!
    Cheers!

    1, 8 & 10 for me, the others needing more saturation.

    I really like the refraction idea in 7 but I would lose a chunk of the right side, to get rid of that damaged leaf, the flower being OOF there anyway.

    Thanks Harold! Appreciate kind comment! Never saw the damaged leaf.....so focused on the front end....thanks much! was hesitant to crank up colors from fear of overdoing it....I think if I reduce exposure tad as Gatto suggested, colors may pop some more too!
