    Cool lighting on that first image!! thumb.gif

    Was that a natural effect, or did you edit it in?

    THanks for looking!

    just put a vignette to darken the outer edge, otherwise natural light
    also increased contrast a bit...... as with the second one same vignette and also put some gaussian blur in the same location as the vignette and a bit more contrast and playing around with curves and sharpening

    The softness on the first shot I find distracting, but I like the light and how it highlights the tips.

    The second shot is pretty cool, the shape is great, and I really like the darker colours in the background as well thumb.gif .... Skippy

    I love the second shot, it has an almost magical feel to it, very nice indeed.

    The first one is nice, but the second is really something. Nice job of drawing attention to the flower.

    It's also a nice change of pace to see a flower that isn't some bright... umm.. flowery color. :D
