Yes the flower was directly scanned but not in the usual reflective mode but in the transparency mode. Light passed through the flower giving nice density in the overlapping petals. Glad you liked it. My fav also.

This is my favorite as well... the others don't have the same see-through-ness as this one. This has so many layers and varying colours that I find it captures my eye and holds it. Nice to see you posting again, Bill!

I have to go with the consensus and say this is my favourite as well. The primrose and nasturtium are nice, but the primrose is a bit too high contrast with the yellow and white, and there is a small flaw on the nasturtium petal. Still, you must have one excellent scanner. The sharpness is amazing (how did you keep the whole flower sharp with multiple depths? Were they pressed flowers? They don't look pressed . . . .) This would look great hanging on a wall. Great job!

Thanks folks for the kind words. Twas fun running out to the garden, plucking flowers and then scanning them as trasparencies. I can't explain the depth of field except to say that I had no control excet that I did use a sharpen option similar to the one in Photoshop. Kim, it's nice to be back. Art festivals & bad health (now much improved) kept me from participating at this site (only 5000+ new photos since I left!. Becky: The flowers were not pressed although the Nasturtium was a bit squished as it was too thick for the scanner. It could handle flowers up to 4" wide but not more than an inch thick. Not too good for sunflowers! Umfortunately all of my Nasturtiums had flaws as the drought an insects left virtually none in perfect condition. Anyone motice the insect on the Primrose?
Glad to be back.
