Here are some others from the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Let me know if you think they are print worthy. Thanks, Jason

The last one in the list I think I've decided to name it Alone.. Probably been overused as a name, but I think it fits.

The top looks resonable for printing. I would however clone out the items on the right - switch, pole... before printing. Also add a touch of sharpening using the unsharp mask.

The second one looks a little soft on my monitor but the colours look good. You need to review the original to see if the softness came from the resizing before making a decision on printing.

The other 3 seem to have been taken in very bright light - noon'ish? and have a few areas which are blown out, so personally I would look to see if they can be recovered from the original before printing.

How about this?

the 4th kind of looks like stars are reflecting in the water. With some treatment, you could make that a lot more convincing.

I've found that flowers are tough to get a really spectacular shot, but overall these are very good. The third and fourth are my favorites, # 4 looking like an explosion (what caused that?). The others are OK but don't really have the compositional quality to put them over the top. Also, the lighting might have been a bit too harsh on # 5.

I didn't realize that in the 4th one it looked like stars. Now that I look at it again, I see what you mean. Maybe I'll tweak it a little and see what happens. In reality, there are just a lot of specs of dust or debree in the water this flower was in. I liked the flower a lot, so I shot it. The first photo is one that I made look overexposed and saturated on purpose. I liked the way it turned out. :shrugs: Thanks for your input guys.
