Ok guys and gals,
Since Steve wanted to see a sharp little flower I decided to upload another one of those lovely yellow ones.
This one I spayed with water, just for the effect.
Cropped the RAW version and no other pp-work was done here.

Hope you like this!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Anneke,
This flower is really in Mellow Yellow mood! I like the softness of the light you captured! Excellent close-up and dark BG. It was good idea to spray it with water, the effect is so natural!
Bravo! Annie

Hi Anneke,
Great contibution. Fantastic yellow, good POV and a very interestig focus.

Hello Anneke



That cruel doubt, both posted are wonderful.
of very good taste and incredible details, the definition is fantastic!
I like this close to for the branch of the leaves her.
With certainty it is an excellent macro shot!
Congratulations!

Sérgio

Yes ... I do like this one better Anneke.
Those little droplets are exquisite.
You've done a great job here!
One more little tip ... if theres something in the foreground that looks out of focus through the viewfinder you can try and remove it if possible before taking the shot.
(Its usually called 'gardening'. I have to do it a lot with fungi shots on the forest floor)
The flower is perfect,but the OOF foreground leaf is a bit distracting.
Do you see what I mean ?
A really great shot though.
Nice work.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Anneke,

Hello Anneke,I really like your POV for this shot.The flower is in sharp focus against the dark bg.
Those drops of water add extra detail and light.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Delicate (but still sharp) details and vibrant colours. The use of the water droplets adds extra interest to the picture. Superb technique.
Thanks for sharing

Beautiful flower photography.

Hello Anneke,

A fabulous macro of this Hypericum flower showing all its 'innards' in sharp detail. It actually works so much better in profile, as you have taken it, than it does looking down on the flower.
I think Steve has a good point that we could all learn from.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Anneke,

Beautiful composition . .
Lovely combination of yellow and green . . and setup with darker BG . .
Great shot my dear friend

Tfs,

Hoi Anneke,
nou 'kan zien dat je in het afgelopen jaar lekker bezig bent geweest. Mooie compo, kleuren, technisch goed, en aan je note te zien geen PP.
Petje af.

Groetjes
Colin

Joh, je had ze toch om moeten draaien, de vorige was veel meer mellow - erg mooi, laat die spuit maar staan, als je nu naar buiten loopt heb je een pluu boven je camera nodig.
Lekker zonnig en geel - ik moet die naam weten, maar het schiet me nog steeds niet te binnen.
