Re: PESO - A couple of macro etudes

Hi Boris both are nice - Geranium sp and Tragopogon sp. The second is a nice comp and dof, but the ray florets seem to be overexposed, and lost a bit of colour. I assume they are the same colour are the same as the central disk florets? If I was working on this in Lightroom, I would try to reco
