WOW! Beautiful, I want to learn how to do this! Contrast is just AWESOME! Exposure, clarity, sharpness and composition are just wonderful. Any tips, such as web sites to learn this beautiful art? Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Very pretty and sharp. I love the modifications made. It looks so stunning and the stamens are very prominent. It looks like a beautiful painting. That dark contrast background, really made this stands out. Artistically framed and presented with excellence.

A very attractive image. Difficult to say what type of flower you started out with but I do like the end results. The colours you have used are very appealing and although shown against a dark background, still stand out. That probably is down to the fractalius effect which gives highlights and movement. Not so sure this is a macro shot though. Good Luck in the contest at voting time.

What a brilliant piece of mixed media macro photography. I love the detail and the colours in this. The flower seems to come alive with electric nerve fibres. Very impressive!

So this is my dream flower. I seriously think you captured everything I ever wanted out of a flower. The colors are amazing. It's like it's glowing. I almost want to see a very tiny pixie sitting on a petal waiting to just lay her pixie dust. The detail is amazing. I love the background color and it works so well with the colors you chose. The picture is very soft on the eyes as well. It doesn't take me much effort to find detail and I love that about pictures. Well done and thank you so much for sharing this. Best of luck in the contest. Please let me know if you ever decide to sell a print.
