That one probably could make it into a seed catalogue, Robbie.

Good work on capturing structure in the leaves and flowers.

It's a lovely, heart-warming scene, well-exposed and composed, with just the right amount of vignetting.
 
I would, however, clone out that single stem of grass to the left of the flower. Also, not sure what to make of the streaks emanating from the top center toward the flower... natural or processing-induced?

Yeah, if you don't crop you gotta clone.

I much prefer Internal Reconstructive Surgery (i.e., cloning) to Amputation (i.e., cropping.)

Look I am crop and clone central and everything else in the book but on this occasion, I for one like it just as it is.

That blade of grass, were it blurry and distracting I would have cut it off at the ground before I took the photo, but I think it adds a spatial tension that works for me.

"Cut it off at the ground" - Mal you should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking this in regards to a nature photo! Willful destruction of nature? Yikes!  :D

And if I must amputate, I prefer doing it in post processing rather than directly to the subject before shooting.  ;D

But I did have a photographer friend who kept a chain saw in his Land Rover...   ???

well the truth is out now.

And yes I do take a chain saw but rarely use it other than to cut fire wood.

We all know that a photograph isn't complete until it's been cropped or cloned. It's even more complete when it's been cropped and cloned. Ignore these guys, Robbie. The pictures just fine as it is.

I just tried to make a "complete" photo using Russ's recipe, but once I cropped everything out there was nothing left to clone!    :(

I guess that the final 1 px by 1 px image is hard to crop again…  :)

You can't even clone it.

Maybe if I reverse the order: CLone everything first, and then crop out everything. This is what you get:





What? You don't see anything? I guess it worked!   ;D
