G'day *LONNIE*!I know there are judges who would can this photograph because there is nothing sharp in the frame but I do not - cannot - subscribe to that view.
You have created something ethereal, mystical, soothingly soft yet maintained enough detail for the viewer to see just what the subject is.
The contrast, highlights and tones - all beautifully soft - are incredibly good and the image can assume a ghostly quslity if you view it long enough - and I did.
Truly great work man!

Gosh, Dennis is right. I see the soft flowing movement of the flower and it reminds me of dance. Beautiful shades, lines and perfect clarity, serious. #9395264Lonnie M. Scott May 08, 2011
