Your efforts were worth it. I love the colors and light and perspective. I don't mind the "blown" stem. It is very bright, but I still see details there. And it brings a certain amount of excitement to the image.

Nice clarity and color on the drops. This looks like the same background as the fuchsia.

Great detail, color, and composition. I like the gradient in the background too. I would use the healing brush on those few spots on the petals.

Excellent detail and texture, but way too sad. :(

Macro 02

This is beautiful. I read your PP steps, and I can't really see the glamour glow and watercolor filter. That's good, but I don't know how you did it. The shot looks very natural. No, actually it doesn't, it looks much better than natural. I'm envious.

This almost looks like a piece of jewelry. The DOF is wonderful with the detail in the needles and that top cone. The solid green background is perfect. Amazing how the green needles can stand out from the background with the same color. Very nice.

Wonderful form and detail. I love the color and the light. Beautiful macro.

eta: I like the negative space. The circle that starts on the bottom is continued around to the top by my eye/imagination, and I think the subject is perfectly placed.

Nice texture and color. Nice DOF and and detail. It seems a little dark to me, but then mushrooms are supposed to be grown in the dark, so I guess that is a good thing. :)

Oh, lovely texture, and I love the light on the pink nose. I want to grab her and put my nose right down in that soft fur. I think it would help the image to remove the pink collar (crop or clone).

Eye Eye!

What a beautiful eye. Amazing detail in the eye and reflection. I am so impressed with the images I have seen taken with that 100mm f/2.8 macro lens that I think it is at the top of my wish list now. The blue patch is interesting. That must be the color of her eyes when seen under normal circumstances. It looks like you may have desaturated the reds quite a bit.
