The irises looked nice with the drops still clinging. I would appreciate very much any critique you may have. I am just starting to use my new xti and PS Elements software. I would like to get more serious with my photography but I am still a total novice (I'm "moldable" - mold me!).
Thank you. Mark “Composition can’t be reduced to a set of rules ... Dissonance has its place in photography as well as music. If we confined ourselves to major and minor scales, the blues wouldn’t exist. Rules are tools, not laws.” ~ James Martin

I do see what you are talking about. I didn't notice it and I bet you're right about it being caused by sharpening. See, I probably would've failed to look for this in the future if I hadn't posted for criticism. Thank you. “Composition can’t be reduced to a set of rules ...

The only thing that leaves me wanting is I wish I could see the whole iris. Very nice. Thanks for the comments Leuce. Enjoyed your portfolio. I especially liked the B&W of the old house. A nice mood was set in that one. “Composition can’t be reduced to a set of rules ... Dissonance has its place in photography as well as music.

I love it when an image displays on my monitor as sharp and as saturated as if it were a hardcopy print that I was looking at.
