Ha! Thought you were going to see some more plant porn, weren't you? ;D Sorry to disappoint, but it's just my latest attempt to capture the amaryllis. Critique away. (It looks better on black.)

Well, wasn't exactly expecting plant porn but have to admit you arooused my....interest. ;D
Reds are hard to capture well but I think your color is okay but I still want a bit more depth in the focus. sorry, babycakes, but thems are the Missouri Breaks when it comes to macro...
Babycakes...listen to me... ;D ;D ;D

Nicely done Janis, a good level of detail in the reds. I like the fact you have included the stem this time to give it some scale.

Thank you both for your comments. I processed it too quickly and want to give it another try. Among other things, I darkened the shadowy part of the stem to black, which I should not have, and there is an unsightly black line crossing the stem at the edge of the petal. I am also dissatisfied with this one, but I will throw it up for your comments, as I have to work tonight and won't be able to play with it for another few days. I think the pistils need to be brighter and more yellow. I also didn't make my U-point large enough when I took the background down to black.

I see this mis-stepped u point but an easy fix. I like this one much better. Your quickie is slowly developing into a longie. All the better!

This is my rework of #2. Still not sure I am satisfied, but it's all a learning exercise.

Thanks, Paul. Sorry for the poor choice of words, 'Rie. It was brave of you to look in spite of them. ;D
