Red Flower

@LAE: Thanks.

@MadScientist: Yeah, I was disappointed with the detail but as you say, they do have their uses if your intent is more abstract.

@Erik: Thanks.

@Kent: Thank you.

@gbe: Now that you mention it, there may be a little bit of a Body Snatcher look here.

@willow: Thanks.

@Jac: Thank you.

@Richard_Irwin: Thanks.

@danthro: Sort of surprised no one else mentioned that, but not really surprised you're the one who did. I try to stay away from them, but on this particular day I was due back at a meeting, it was during the noon hour when the light sucked, and flowers were about the only subject I could test the filters on. Let me describe my feeling about flower shots this way: I see some good ones from time to time, but I'd be very unlikely to ever hang one on a wall --mine or anyone else's. And while I may sometimes take flower shots I never take photos of sunsets --nor would I ever print one and put in on a wall.

@Persian King: It was just a product of the exposure and what was in the background, along with adjusting the shadows in Photoshop for more blacks.
