Asian lillies

Now this is stunning; the type of image that I dream of making someday. I really love the tonal range and sharpness.

Absolutely beautiful.

Dumb question time........ What's "P-goop" ?

Jim

Thanks, guys.

"P-goop" is the Polaroid processing gel inside the little pod - the quasi-caustic goop you try to keep off your fingers when you peel the Polaroid apart.

So I guess I shouldn't be using P-goop for hair gel, huh?! Maybe that's why it's so shiny on top!!

I'm spe3echless.. beautiful is an understatement

I don't know, Gene. Maybe P-goop would actually develop hair growth. Then again, it might just eat the skin away.

Ralph, this one sings! Excellent composition and execution.

beautiful. congrats

I suggest getting in a little closer, to emphasize the lighter flower, and make the image a touch more abstract, rather then representational. Perhaps because the subject is so nice, we don't want to exclude any of it, but that can result in a slight feeling of distance from the subject.

I don't know where on this forum we can post other images, so I posted it here: http://www.kenleegallery.com/ralph.html

I have also taken the liberty of making a 4x10 image from the same photo - a little more abstract, kind of like a Japanese or Chinese painting. See http://www.kenleegallery.com/ralph2.html

I hope this kind of "critique" is OK, and not offensive.
