Check to see that your camera is not set to max sharpening. It may be sharpening some in camera, and again when you process, and causing the problem along the tree line at the top. Whatever you did to this one makes the bark on the main subject tree look good. It's a very contrasty scene, with the white clouds and dark foreground to deal with.

Got a grin from me. Awesome that you were ready and snagged the moment! Great title too.

I like the way you used selective focusing and depth of field, and that you left enough of the environment in the frame to see how these grow. Those are interesting looking flowers.

It looks almost like bird feathers. Imagine that?
Lovely image Wendy. The gentle colors are a treat.

You rock, California girl!
Perfect title, except now that song will be stuck in my head for a while.
That wavy reflection is great! I thought it was through a wavy piece of glass, or some kind of editing plug-in.

The three color combination and the dark soil background are great in this one. I also like the light here too.

I like the vignette, and the shadows are very well defined. This was a good choice of flowers to make the shadows, because they are on stems with no leaves. That BG would make a good texture for layering.

Macro is fun and interesting because most people never look this closely at things that are all around us every day. Nice find, and you did a nice job at geting the part you wanted to share to stand out in this one.
