My submission, the black mulch in the flower bed made a nice dark background.

Nice shot Chris, HDR?

Yes Rick, it is HDR. Have been experimenting with Photomatix for the last month. It seems to offer more than CS5. Still a long way to go on the learning curve though!

Some great pictures. They all look alien.

I don't know much about flowers and the ones I find around here are wild flowers and real small.

Here is a Mullein plant I found the other day that hasn't flowered yet -- but looked pretty cool.

I really like the way HDR gives B&W an "eerie" feel.

The composition on this shot is very good. BTW, what name can we call you other than initials?

 

[SJW]

Thanks!

My name is Stan.

 

[SJW]

That is an amazing photo, Chris.

wanted a sunflower, had to settle for a daisy

 

[KWJams]

Now ain't that a daisy!
