Slimply beautiful, Steve. :) #677712Steve Mescha June 21, 2007
Thanks, Carla! Believe it or not I got that white background by shooting against a gray sky and bumping the exposure up a couple stops to blow out the sky. I tried to reshoot today in hopes of getting a little more DOF but the sky was blue and I could not reproduce the effect. Also could not get the same composition and I especially like the stems in this shot. Oh well, I guess it just proves that each and every shot is unique :-) #4421844Colette M. Metcalf June 21, 2007
Beautiful, Steve!! #4422106Melissa G. Meiselman June 22, 2007
Great shot against the sky and terrific exposure to get it white, Steve!! #4424384Nadya Johnson June 22, 2007
Absolutely gorgeous, Steve! (You are so right... not much chance of duplicating photos when it comes to nature, in particular!) This is lovely! Hope this finds you A-OK and doing well - - ! #4424703Steve Mescha June 22, 2007
Thanks, Colette, Melissa, and Nadya! I got some more shots like this today. Haven't looked at them yet but I'm excited about this new way of isolating images :-) #4425580Carla Metzler June 22, 2007
They are at that, Steve. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you got. But I have to tell you...this is a beauty! #4425605Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
