    I like it very much Brian Nice colors and composition, very nice details in the leaf and I like the water drops. Cloning yellow things and the thread-like thing on the red flower might help.

    I did some cloning to clean things up a bit. Perhaps I got lazy and should have done more. By 'yellow things' do you mean the spots on the green leaves? The thread like things are actually part of the red flower.

    Do you still have the process sequence of your "fabric" shot ? Can you turn this one into one of those shot or it will be difficult? I like this shot, but it has very strong shadows...the effect on the leaf is very nice...

    that is just a question of applying a filter or two in the right amount. In the original there are fairly strong shadows.

    Nope I was wrong. It was a whole sequence of little steps and I dumped the record of the steps. Silly me.

    And the purpose of mosquitoes is to remind people that as good as it gets here it is not perfection.

    No the yellow parts of the red flower.

    But it wouldn't be the flower without the yellow tips!

    That's me nice and moody. But in a slightly more serious note I am trying to use an undercoating of colour the way some painters will on a canvass. In this case it is pasting in a reversed sepia mask to the base layer.

    I have tried it twice and both times it added something that I liked.

    Thanks. I thought it had potential when I saw it.
