Another fantastic image Phillip! How do you come up with so many ideas? :) I love how you've maintained sharpness across the whole flower. I'd vote a 7 if you had ratings enabled!
Best regards,
Joel.

Mate, we are so busy in out business, I have not had the time to take any photos for about 6 weeks. I have not had the time, either, to leave many comments on photos on this site.
Nice to see you back posting! No doubt you will be off working hard, again, in the not too distant future!

Wow Phillip, such clarity! This is superb.
I have been quietly watching your tree and boat series, which I have enjoyed immensely.
Angela and I have been very strangely affected by the death of Rashed. I found myself unable to talk on Usefilm. I did not know him well and am surprised by these feelings. I feel quite withdrawn.
So, many apologies for my lack of support of your magnificent works. How goes it in your neck of the woods? Hey, its raining!!! CC

Howdy Phil,
This is so sharp!! the tones are amazingly balanced in the core of the flower..like a masters job in lighting mate!
I like very much the strong key, left and right on the stem.. it adds a delicate strength to the flower, and doesn't command the image like the stem most often does.
well done! beautiful b/w!!
cheer buddy, hope all is well!
....i've jumped into real film for a few weeks! yikes! developing in my sink, and scanning w/ a new flatbed 48bit 35mm film scanner.

Hi Phil...
Beautiful, beautiful work... The petals have an almost metalic look... platinum... worth heaps :) ... which is what one would expect from you good Sir...
The edges are so very definate, and love the way the stem takes it through the bottom of the frame... So glad you didn't clone that out...
