Yeah, we discussed the blown out blossoms. Positive film exposure is fine, it's my wonderful little flatbed scanner. Why doesn't that bother me on an example scan such as this? Because of there being two blossoms, the center area placement felt ok to me. I recently put up a lily shot called "Leggy

The composition doesn't grab me. The flowers are too centered, maybe cropping a bit off of one edge, or if you want it centered a somewhat tighter crop. The contrast seems to be a bit too high for the subject matter. Jack Davis wrote: >Had a couple of these lily shots ready to put up recen

Marnie, both you and Bruce are right that the blossom is somewhat blown out. When I put it up I touched it slightly with the burn tool, but didn't like the total of what was happening, so backed off. Being a MF positive, the scan was done on my cheapy flat bed. I just checked the film and find the

Thanks, Bruce. I view this as your standard, ordinary, "pretty" shot the impact of which increases with size. A scene that neither offends nor excites almost no one. Jack --- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is a shot that I would like to see bigger. I'm suspecting that > it is qui

This is a shot that I would like to see bigger. I'm suspecting that it is quite striking when viewed like that. It also seems to be a bit blown out in the flower - don't know if this is the result of the scan or as shot. Anyways, I like it with those two caveats. -- Bruce Friday, August 11,
