Amazing floral macro Ken, the focus is absolutely perfect as is the dof. But it is the colours that blow me away - outstanding photograph my friend :-)
Best wishes, Steve

I think it's more to do with my monitor than anything else Ken - they appear nice and bright on this, but elsewhere a bit on the dark side!!
I do underexpose a little to avoid burining out the highlights - then rescue the image in Photoshop later.
Also, you get richer colours by underexposing and using a polariser.
I like a bit of gravity in a shot - something to give it weight, and a dark look usually does it - but if it's too dark you loose any detail - quite a tricky balance you'll agree :-)
Cheers
Ade

Ade,
Pretty good. Very much the same theme as you have mentioned.
Ade, If you don't mind, can I point out something I noticed in most of your images -
You tend to keep them all bit dark.
I always wondered is it because of the filters you tend to use. But I think that you have a prefrence to make them look bit dark.
Have you noticed it yourself. If so is it a delibrate decision to present them that way.
regards, ken.

a beauty of a floral Ken, the colours work together so well.
I've been having a go recently and came up with smoething very similar - though the flower was on it's way out so lots of imperfections.

This is a wonderful series you're doing. You've isolated them into pure colors and basic lines and forms.
