Devils Claw

Is what I believe the plant from which these flowers came from is called.
Taken in doors with natural light shining in through window. 1/6th sec exposure tripod and cable release.

Thanks.
Ken.

I like that a lot Ken !

Great shot Ken, it can be improved slightly by removing the digital haze.
I love the use of the stone.

Try applying unsharp mask at 20,30,1, this will remove the haze and give the petals more definition.

Lovely contrast between the stone and the colour of the flowers. Nice eye there mate!

Thanks everyone for the comments so far. Matt didn't know if you meant for your suggestion to be applied to the original tiff or the jpg. This has had the usm to the jpg....Also not sure what HTH means.

Thanks again.
Ken.

Nice one - really sharp and as Matt says, nice use of the stone as background.

It can be applied to either Ken, but it has to be done at the last stage of processing.

Have you noticed how the usm has lifted the subject from the background?

This should earn a place on your wall, its excellent.

I like that. As a variation have you tried it from a lower viewpoint, concentrating more on the flowers?

Hadn't actually, it was just done for something to do as I haven't been able to get out with the camera at all lately. I feel for sure I will try this kind of thing more and when the oppurtunity occurs, I will try the different view points. Thanks again.
