10	Feb 24	Reply	BTW. I'm not sure the stem needs to show more. Kathlen C. might dissagree, but I love the having to mentally fill in the stem to get to the tulip.	Feb 19th
10	Feb 24	Comment	Love it. I agree with Mark's comments	Feb 19th
10	Feb 24	Comment	Love the image. The whites seem a bit dull. I think they could be brightened just a bit without loosing the mysterious quality of the image.	Feb 19th

80	Feb 24	Reply	The crop works -- but there are too many out of focus areas for Generative Fill to work its magic. Also, I'm not sure about the proportions.	Feb 21st
80	Feb 24	Comment	Very interesting & successful. Perhaps the whites could pop even more, the purple just a shade darker.	Feb 19th
80	Feb 24	Comment	Wonderful capture. I prefer the original orientation. To me, the little flowers lead one out of the frame. If the top flower could be darkened, I think I prefer it left in. It leads so nicely to the subject. Also, is the top flower in the original more blurred? It would be better to blur that flower even more. BTW, you are missing a lot by not having the latest version of PS. It's amazing what Generative Fill can do!	Feb 19th
80	Feb 24	Comment	The flower is perfect. I'm wondering about the background, however beautiful it is. The flower itself is a cool color. Kathleen Clemons likes to match a cool flower with a cool background. Is the background too warm for the flower?	Feb 19th
80	Feb 24	Reply	I think I know what Kathleen Clemons would say -- chose an f stop that gets both the edge and at least some of the water drops in focus. Would that have been possible & still have enough blur in the back?	Feb 19th
80	Feb 24	Comment	Makes me think that someday I may need to get a smart phone, or ipad. The background is amazing. Simple spot remover tool in PS would take care of the black spots to the right; Generative Fill would take care of the degenerate petal on the left. I would prefer the image if the front edge of the rose were really in focus--I think it's a bit back focused. Also, I would mask whatever is obscuring the wonderful water drops. But all that may work against the wonderful softness of the image.	Feb 18th
80	Feb 24	Comment	Love it. Where is "inverse swirl" in PS?	Feb 18th
80	Feb 24	Reply	It's hard to know where to begin. A protea does not open; I had to peal away the outer coverings to reveal the center. The Center is well below the outer rim; leaves are well below that (you can sort of see a resemblance to the inner walls of the protea between the 2 images) Both images are hairy. I believe proteas are more dark purple to the eye; with strong light, the color gets much brighter. Mine was a very mature protea anyway. The leaves are further down. Through focus stacking, that is not so obvious in Rich's. I would be interested to know what Rich thinks of this rambling.	Feb 8th
80	Feb 24	Comment	Canon calls it Focus Bracketing. I guess I should say Focus Stacked in camera.	Feb 6th
