Detail is stunning. HDR is perfect for this shot.

I hope you're eating some of that corn. Yum Yum! And yay for wickee_onefor getting you such a cool lens!

I'll be seeing a lot of corn next week when I drive across Indiana and Illinois. Hope to get some decent photos. This has a somewhat ominous feeling. Good clarity. I assume you used a tripod and there wasn't much breeze. The sky looks more natural to me than in your HDR photo with the river.

Congrats on the new lens. What a thoughtful present!

What a dramatic rendering. Very other-worldly, like some night-illuminating flower. I hadn't guessed the water wasn't real (though the size of the ripples should have tipped me off). Good experiment! Sorry to hear about the mosquitoes. :-/

I love the dramatic clouds in this one, as they appear to be coming in on top of you, and the fields of corn growing so close, one could almost touch them.

I think this turned out great! Also thanks for the tip on using a luminosity blend to increase the contrast; I tried it immediately and love it!

Holy cow, this is fabulous! I love the violet flowers against the black, and the way your flowers absolutely glow! This has got to be one of the most effective and realistic uses of the Flaming Pear Flood filter I've ever seen, I thought it was a real reflection in water!
