That is awesome Mark! You did a great job with the blend – I like the fact that it doesn’t have that HDR cartoon like look.

Wonderful image! I like how the lily mimics the sunburst. The exposure is very lifelike. If anything it seems that working digitally has allowed a more truthful representation of what and how we see.

Good observation Anita. That was actually something I worried about-the sunburst being too dominant. I hope the attempt to balance them is apparent in the image.

I just sat in amazement drinking this in for a time. It wasn’t easy competing with that sunburst, but the lily is clearly up to the task.

It’s a bit comforting to know that it took five exposures to put together this beautiful piece. Otherwise, I might have been tempted to give up after seeing this. Knowing I would never get that exposure would have been mighty discouraging. Still, the way you succeeded in bringing those exposures together is intimidating enough. This is inspiring.
