Working on effects.........

Watch your back Plantsman!

I like the close crop and would perhaps like to see the flower as a tighter crop... ?

Kind regards

Rolf

Rolf, you just gave me a belly laugh! "The Plantsman" is one of you three who has been giving me pointers (teaching) and I have really been learning..........I thought about a tighter crop, but left it as it is. For display when I do a show or something, I will take that under advisement. Pat

LOL! Just one thing...you said you left the flower uncropped for a show in the future...? I hope you are not adjusting/cropping/resizing your originals? Always do that with a copy! Once you have saved a crop and resize of an original... there is no going back!

Have a great day!

Kind regards

Yes, Oh Great Photog Guru, I am saving my originals and messing with them. I read here recently, and I don't remember who, but, there was an article on saving JPEGs and not messing with the original, because it begins to obscure the quality of the shot.............and you can't get it back.

Now then chaps, I'm watching you

No critique from me Pat exept to agree that if the azalea can take a closer crop it might be worthwhile trying it.
I can tell you - unless I'm very much mistaken, the palm is not a palm but a 'Cycad' Cycadaceae These are 'old world' plants and were common when the dinosaurs were around. Just a bit of useless information unless you are interested.
