I like it, Dan, but the light is a bit harsh, and parts of the flower (especially in the center) look blown out.  Did you shoot in RAW so that you can recover some highlights? Cheers, Rick   http://photo.net/photos/RickW - Original Message - From: Daniel J. Matyola

Thanks, Rick. Yes, it is a bit harsh. The flowers that are accessible tend to be those in the brightest light. I just processed this quickly, and, as you suggest, I need to process it a bit. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 7:40 AM, Rick

wow those are really deep pink! I'm used to seeing more delicate varieties. But I love dogwoods, too - nice to see! ann Rick Womer wrote: Dogwoods are my favorite flowering trees, and this is the best season for them we've had in years.

Very pretty pink, and the flowers are in nice shape. I tried to photograph a flowering tree by the house the other day, and couldn't find a decent bloom--lots of foxing--to borrow a book term--brown edges and such. Had to give up. Very nice, Rick. Cheers, Christine - Original Message
