Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A couple of 10 second exposures. Thought I'd try something different.
Set up the plants indoors to eliminate any possibility of movement.
Stopped the aperture right down to improve DOF and eliminate ambient light and then manually set off the flash (big old Hanimex) from different angles and fairly close to the subject.
The best I could manage in 10 Seconds was 3 flashes. Tried different angles but 1 from each side slightly in front of the subject and then 1 from behind seemed to work best.
The first was just the untouched flower, then I sprayed some water on it for the second shot and the third has a bit of Photoshop trickery just for fun.

I like the first 2.
Dramatic images indeed.
I would lose the photoshop trickery on the third. The images are good enough in their own right. I find the flare in the third quite distracting.
Although I am sure others will have the opinion that it isnt.

These were good, but the one you entered was better. I also don't like the PS flare.
