Last of the roses
I didn't get to the photo show in Glasgow today so instead sat down to explore tethered capture using the last decent bloom in a bouquet of roses a friend had sent to my wife (who had replacement hip surgery 6 weeks ago). It is going to be more difficult than expected (surprise ) so I did a conventional macro instead, with a focus merge of 4 individual shots.
The purple at the bottom is from other flowers in the bunch but I left it there for the slight colour contrast.
C&C welcome as ever.

Re: Last of the roses
Very nice portrait of a rose. You already seem to have a touch of purple in the petals on the right. Was this colour inherent in the petals, or was it from the lighting.

Re: Last of the roses
Looking again at the originals (flower and capture) the answer seems to be 'all of the above'. There is a very slight purple in the petals but it has been accentuated by the combination of lighting and the purple flower head behind and to the right of the petal in the shot.

Re: Last of the roses
Thanks Paul David - yes, all going well (seeing the benefits already but quite a while away from thinking about an entry for the Olympics)

Re: Last of the roses
nice detail, and it looks like the stacking worked well.

Re: Last of the roses
Excellent image; i feel removing the violet petals of the distant flower may be cloned out

Thanks Nanda. I'll probably leave it the way it is, but will take a look later at selective hue adjustment in that region just to see .

Re: Last of the roses
You know what will be nice, Bill? -- try reversing the shot horizontally...then it will look better. Just a thought...
