Lovely with the semi-transparent petal detail.

Beautiful image, Frank -- very striking with the great red against the stark white. Helen

Thank you Kathrine, Martin and Mike for your nice comments!
Martin, normally I struggle with the reds, but I started to shoot the JPGs with low saturation and low contrast. With this picture I only had to fix the curve as it was slightly overexposed. I still have a raw file on my disk, but I am not able to process it on my 600x800 CRT that I have to use at the moment. Cheers, Frank

Beautiful macro, Frank. I really like the color, clarity, and translucent lighting here...nice choice of comp/crop too against the bright background. Nice photo. MFC

Sneaky, sneaky, Frank! It's a beauty of a shot, excellent detail, so hard to get that to appear in the reds! And it definitely has a Christmas flavor to it to me! :)

Excellent macro - I love the lighting, color, and the clarity of the details and textures!
