[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This morning I started experimenting with my new lens again.
The backporch with its glass roof gives the ideal light with no shadows at all, exept from beneath... :-)

I had to move the right(white) level almost to the center of the curve to get the picture this bright.
Original crop, resized, sharpened and added a border.

Thanks for looking,
Greetz,
Steven.

Mooie macro! Ik vind vooral de keuze om de bloembladen bijna tot een suggestie te herleiden zeer origineel en geslaagd .

Hi Steven

I like the very narrow DOF in this artistic shot. Beautifully framed and well focused

Bonjour Steven,
Excellente blancheur de la fleur et plein de détail sur les pistules.
Félicitation pour ce macro.
Cordialement.

It is a nice simple image with good colors.

I am a bit puzzled by the camera settings. Why an extreme fast shutter of 1/2000 with the lens wide open at f/2.8 and ISO 200 (for your camera isn't ISO 100 the setting for the best image quality)? Then you write the original image was to dark and you had to brighten it in PP?
Seems to me like you would get better image quality by picking ISO 100 (although this shouldn't matter a lot), longer exposure so you don't need to brighten in PP and degrade the image quality and maybe stop down the lens a bit if you want more DOF.

TFS,
Pedro

This is an interesting and alternative composition and I like the softness and freshness to this.

Philippa

Terrible, belles couleurs et pdc superbe !!!
