'Nice one, Pbro. I like the frame-filling composition. While little is eye-bleeding crisp, there's lots of detail - which is a big hook for me & only the front & back extremities go soft. 'Don't know if its macro glass, tubes, or a crop, but its very handsome.

Hiho, thank you for the praise. It's an 8x10 crop from 35mm. It was a cloudy day in a greenhouse with a white roof, sort of the ultimate soft box. The 50mm f1.7 kit lens, handheld, so a wee bit of camera shake. I do hybrid process, so for printing it needs some dust fixing and a bump up in contrast.

I just got a new computer and my lovely bride gave me a scanner for Christmas, so I'm going through my old stuff and rescanning the best. There isn't anywhere near as much as I used to think there was, but expect a lot more to be posted.
