Comment: This was taken just after sunrise in August 2009 out side my office window.
Watermark: This will now be on all my work apart from purchased prints etc. Don't blame me, blame the thieves that sell my work on eBay!!! All comments about the watermark will be ignored & hidden.
Focus is spot on, and not easy to manage. I love the placement of the waterdrops, and the light through them. Te tones overall are exactly where I would have tried to place them on film. A perfect zone 3 on the soft highlights, and zone 7 in the petal shadows.
I am less fond of the light falloff on the bottom petals, it does serve to draw the eye back up to the flower center where the action is. So that's really a personal preference.
My only suggestion would have been to bring up the light on those bottom petals. But that is, as I said a personal call. I don't like all that detail potential dropping off to black.
