Carol, great shot just handheld! Very nice job - I really enjoyed this image. I do like Tom's suggestion of removing the upper part of metal so it makes it feel as if she is flying. I would also prefer to have upper part of bust crisp as the head. I find red reflection in the lower part a bit distracting. Definitely worth perfecting this image. |

Hi Tom, I am very drawn by this beautiful abstract image - I love when macro photography makes you see the unseen and also makes you wonder what the image is about. Without your explanation it would be a mysterious natural texture. Thank you for sharing it. |

Hi Pat, as others mentioned I know from experience that bugs are hard to photograph. It is a good attempt. Maybe you could have gone closer to the head and gotten more detail of that specific part. Also, in a way having the second half a bit out of focus gives a sensation of movement - gives me the impression that it is slowly crawling towards me and makes me feel like if I wait long enough it will all come out and be in focus. |

Thank you Tom means a lot to me! They were about 5 inches each more or less. Thanks for advice on f flexibility. |

Hi Stuart, wonderful image, I love the color and the water drops are so crisp. I also appreciate your description of how you got to this result. I wonder if focusing only on the flower without including the buds would make it even more stunning. And thank you for the macro lights info. |

Hi Keith, I feel you are almost there and I like the burgundy background you choose. You inspired me to try stacking with some stones I collected in Cape Cod. An option would also be to make it more abstract and focus on a sub-section of the stone - like the internal concentric image. |

Thank you Stuart, I thought a lot about the background color and as you guessed I went for a bland one (my beige leather sofa actually!), I tried with white and was too bright. I did struggle with the focus, I tried different depth of field but I could not manage to have both leaves both all in focus. Thanks for the encouraging words. |

Hi Haru, this is a beautiful and ethereal, calming image. The fog works very well in deepening the mood. I like both versions, but I am particularly drawn to the B&W one. I agree on cropping the left side a bit or cloning some more of the bushes on that side far side. I can appreciate the usefulness of pano seeing this image of yours - inspires me to try it more often. |

Cheryl, I am very impressed by your attempt. I like the softness of the sky combined with the clear lines of the buildings, and definitely the B&W works very well. I do not have much to add to all the useful and instructive comments you already got. looking forward to seeing more of your images. |

Thank you Haru, I always learn from your perspective. You have given the image a very mysterious angle, thanks for opening my eyes to different options. |

Thank you Cheryl, I like what you did - it is clearer that the sunlit sailboat is the focus of the image |

Hi Robert, I add myself to the collective WOWs! What a shot. I do agree that the highlights are the mountain and the clouds - so I like Cheryl's crop. The colors do seem a bit too saturated to my eyes. Would be interesting to see original colors. An amazing image. |

Hi Dan, the image does speak to me as consistent with your vision. I also think the B&W enhances the message. In terms of composition I was going to suggest what Bob did - that way the focus is the curve, I really like his modification. |

Hi Bob, Nice image and I think you did achieve a particular viewpoint beyond just a snapshot. However, since your focus is the Museum of Glass, maybe you could crop the post with green decoration on the left side, it distracted me from the glass building. |

Thank you Dan, I see your point - thank you. I guess the rainbow faded away by the time I got the camera set up… |
