nice lighting.

[Wavelength]

Simply great.... i really loved this one

[rtbaum]

Thank you, Nandakumar. This was a test of a new lens that looks pretty promising as a replacement of my non-VR, and very old 400mm

Beautiful shot, Randy...I like the backlighting...and of course the flower, the way it was shot...

[bnnrcn]

This is lovely Randy I would brighten the dark greens just a little bit.

A particularly creative juxtaposition of the stem with four blossoms on it and the other stem with no blossoms. Consider eliminating the tiny bit of blossom at the very bottom of the frame.

Did not even notice that, good call.

Nice image.

The set up for this:

-Two paper towels taped to South facing window
-Fake Flowers taped to chair back
-Reflector, Jerry-rigged to plant stand
-Me securely seated in recliner (feet up)

This photography is rough!!

I'm still working on the table-stand with cup holder

[Wavelength]

Ouch... i never thought that was a synthetic flower set; If gladiola is available around, why not give a go with an original one

I have one...send me your address so I can FEDEx it to you, overnight delivery special...one of our good friend is a pilot for FedEx....

Personally, I would never have tried making such a difficult photo without use of a cup holder.

That's some pretty darn nice playing around, well done.
