Title: Columbine Rising
Post by: maddogmurph on September 29, 2017, 09:59:07 pm: I dunno - wasted way too much time on this imperfect focus stack - but I liked the flowers. I just can't capture them quite right perhaps...

I don't know how much time you spent, of course, but I wouldn't describe it as wasted.

Why not leave the image alone for a month or two and then come back to it and see how you like it then, you might be surprised just how good it looks to you when you do.

I used to tell my workshoppers, when you have spent several days with me going to all of what I think are the best places for photography, then when you get home and you immediately begin to review all your images, you will be looking at them through the warm glow of what you remember of your trip and they will probably not live up to what you remember, but if you leave them alone for a while and give the warm memory glow a chance to die down a little, you will be surprised at just how good they really are.

It is a beauty.

Yes, flowers in context are a challenge. This works very well.
