Hi Jay,
A beautiful flower! The color saturation is amazing. Nice sharp detail. You caught some nice soft quality light that allows excellent detail across the entire tonal range.

Hi Jay,
An impressive yellow display here!
I like so much the macro made, in wich we can enjoy all the delicate details into the flower.
I like the contrast made with the dark background.
Pherhaps a little OE the left petals.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi, dear Jay.
What a wonderful shot you have shared. You have reflected all beauty of this charming flower perfectly. I like crisp sharpness of the petals, their fire colour tone, excellent art cropping and composition and impressive dark BG. Bravo and my best wishes.

Hi Jay,
great shot, the macro work is excellent, details are sharp and the DOF spot on. Not to sutre on your crop though .. maybe the full flower would have been a better choice, but that of course is a matter of choice.

Hi Jay and sorry for the delay

This (just like your previous post) is a charming macro shot!
The natural colors of this beautiful flower are indeed virbant and really eye catching and this POV that you chose here really demonstrates that well.
The details are terrific and very sharp, with every single petal placed in excellent focus.
I also appreciate the very well exposure management here, which wasn't really all that easy due to the bright colors and good sun light. Despite that, i think you managed a great job!

Bravo and TFS

GREAT shot of a GREAT plant!
Beautiful yellow....great "structure" of this
one, though I don't think you are responsible for THAT!!

I see the purple of the outside leaves creeping into the photo, and noticed for the first time, that the tips of the petals in the "Son before the father" are rounded and smooth, while the tips of the dandelion are
ragged.....or am I mistaken...?

Regardless, a FABulous shot in macro mode,
and you were able to keep the "shine" off the plant, which is hard to do!!

Hello Jay
A lovely macro photo of this little roadside flower. Your workshop too is great to show where you have photographed this specimen. Maybe if you tried to plant it there it probably would not have grown, but nature has its own way how it manage to achieve these amazing accomplishments. Just a slight nit with some overexposed petals on the left side, but other wise a great photo. Well done.
Greetings

Hello Jay! What a wonderfully sunny flower! Such wonderful detail and clarity--marvellous micro. Great notes too, very interesting. Although taken earlier this year, still looks like an autumn flower to me. Well done! Thanks! Linda
