The dof seems to be more pronounced in this shot. The colors are so delicate. I like them both!

I totally agree with Didier DE ZAN. The balance between the details and the blurred are perfect. Loved the presentation.

I couldn't imagine how the color could be as strong as the black and white - but the tone mapped color dogwood really looks great. Touch choice between the two: both excellent.

great job with the macro. i appreciate the darker lighting as it evokes a much deeper (and meaningful) mood that i haven't seen in a long time.

I'm hard pressed to say today's or yesterday's is better... they're both awe inspiring. Both are breathtaking.. just in different ways. So neither is better than the other... both are unique and outstanding!

I stepped back in awe when this image opened. A divine capture, creative angle, beautiful softness and selective focus. It has to be one of the most remarkable bloom images I have seen in sometime.
Your images wakes my motivation to stay focused on my goal of taking better images. Thank you.

Ron, this reminds me of the shot in the copy room. Is it the same flower with just a different perspective? Anyway I see what you meant about the muted colors. It's very pretty.
