GP thank you so much! I actually believe you're right. Here it is again with just a little brightness and contrast added on the middle.

This is a fine macro, Heidi, with terrific detail, and excellent composition. The soft light and darker tones do indeed impart an atmosphere that is more moody and dramatic than typical, especially on the white petals which are so beautifully rendered with this treatment. I agree with you that Clive's version alters the feeling too much, resulting in a very different image. Personally, I would leave the petals exactly as they are, but I would bump up the brightness of the center just a LITTLE, giving it just a bit more of a glow. I don't think it would take away from your intended effect, and may actually add to it... Just my personal two cents..;-) This is outstanding work.

Thanks everyone!
Clive I really like what you did to it, to me it gives the flower a whole new feel, one of crispness and purity. But IMO it also leaves it empty of the drama I had intended. Either way, I really appreciate your comment and honesty, thank you!

Heidi, You have done a very nice job of frameing this shot and it is very nicely presented. I find that it is a little dull and could use a little attention in an editor to improve the contrast and brightness. Here is my attempt, I hope you like it.

oooh, now this one i like. very nice lighting, this makes for an excellent macro. the contrast on the petals is fantastic, very dramatic and deep. i am a very big fan of macro photography, but my lens doesn't permit much of that... ;) looking for an upgrade soon... please take a look at my portfolio if you have time and tell me what you think....
