ok I had another picture that took 5 shots to get but when I put them together it look squished. I chose this one because it showed the whole petal. I didn't want to go further away because it takes away from the macro of it all. Still fell in love with this one even if it only took three shots to get.

WOW! This is fantastic! Great job!

Thank you! I knew they were about ready to bloom and i told them yesterday that if they didnt (because i needed them for this shot but had a different idea i couldnt get) that i was going to chop them up into little pieces and burn them! Kidding of course they did cooperate and im pretty happy with this.

Beautiful, wonderful colours

ahhhh and I see burning must have been used for this?

No. Actually i just brought the three pics into pse and it put them together. All i did was flatten image, crop and work with the blacks. I dont even remember what burning is to tell you the truth.

Really really nice shot...gl author

Great colours!
