Some words about the current picture:

P#442: Strong colors flower macro.

Flowers, flowers, flowers... An intriguing macro for Valentine's day.
Another remix... heavier color saturation and a bit more "natural".
Also this is the first picture to be posted at this bigger size. Tell me what you think.

Just posted this along with a zoomed crop in a project on Behance Network:

• i prefer this sinister version of this flower shot.. excellent work here. :)rian @ 2009-02-16 11:17:02
• @Ramon: eheh it's not soft light, just a a black to white gradient map in multiply (masked), but I think it could also be achieved with a soft light too.
  
  @Rian: "sinister" may be too hard... but without any doubt I prefer the darker one too :DLaurent @ 2009-02-16 15:02:22
