Whatever you're doing, pixelpig, it works for me. If you would share some of your processing steps I know we would all appreciate them.

I sometimes use a bit of tone mapping, using a new program called "Essential HDR" that I heard about here on DPC a week or so ago. I've used some of the other programs, including the one in Photoshop and the colors are too garish for my tastes. This one seems to be a but more subdued. As I work with it a bit more, I'll try to give a report.

But whatever you are doing is exciting and I like it very much.

Yeah, these are tiny little things, aren't they!
Good definition and detail and I think the dark background
makes them pop beautifully.

I like the sepia treatment very much.

Because you've taken the colors into another plane, I'm enjoying the experimentation.

The only thing that I would look at is that forwardmost petal that is a different color/hue than the rest. If it was mine, I'd like to see it 'match' the others.

Ummm, yes. I agree with inamo. If it was mine, I might crop off the top black part and maybe just a tad off the right side to concentrate on those really interesting patterns and colors of the unusual flowers.

That flower garden must be a riot of color with all that's going on. Always a joy to see.
