Hi Gil
I like this shot without a frame but have taken the liberty of doing a workshop. I just think a closer look at the flower might have improved the image.

Having said that you have done well with this shot to obtain good detail and colours.
TFS.

Hi Gil, missed your shots, this is a wonderfully clean and sharp image, lovely composition and a fine upload... I am hoping to sell a kidney, hahaha, to buy the canon 65mm macro 1-5x... what you do with your lens is superb... regards h

Hello Gil,
I like how you have angled the shot so that the centre of the flower is allowed to stand out in such poetic relief and colour--superb against the black BG.
A beautiful shot and macro.
I am impressed!

Hello Gil

I could read them criticize, and I already saw that you already have the name of this wonderful flower!
Great close, I like his amusing form, your light colors in your petals and your very detailed nucleus.
A beautiful shot, and big visual!
Congratulations my friend...

Hi Gil,
I like the diagonal composition of the clematis. The white petals really show well against the dark b/g. I see that you and I have the same Nikkor macro lens. I like this lens a lot, and my only complain is it is too darn sharp. Thanks for your comments about my 'beta test' image. I am recovering nicely. My best regards, Danilo

A pretty clematis Gil and well captured. The colours stand out nicely against the background and even with the flower centre being dark some very good detail still to be seen.

Hi Gil,
No need for a frame, I'd crop alittle from the right hand side and bottom, just to move the coloured part of the flower off centre a tad.
I like the dark BG.
Cheers,
Pete.

Hi Gil

A superb macro shot of the Clematis. It resembles a passionfruit flower. The diagonal axis adds dynamism. Good color & sharpness. Tfs!

I like this diagonal composition. It does not really need a frame but a frame would not harm it either if a delicate light frame is used. For adding a frame however I think one would prefer the full flower - my personal feeling however. The black background is good but maybe takes away a bit from the dark centre of the flower.

It still remains a lovely photo!

Hi Gil,

No need for a frame here - I do like to make frames, but that is just me having fun.
Lovely how that deep purple looks against the creamy white.
I just wonder if a slight gamma correction upward -on a selected area of the heart only- will show a bit more detail.When I have a WS left I will give it a try..

TFS
Els

PS:
Okay, I made a WS, but have no more possibility to upload. Well I tried the gamma correction, and although it gives more visible detail it somehow spoils the atmosphere.
Conclusion - this is lovely just the way it is.
