Hi Paul, many thanks for your attention to my work and the time taken to try and explain this process to me. I have a digital camera without much control and perhaps I will maybe invest in a more sophisticated piece of equipment in the near future. Perhaps, I then can better achieve this very dramatic effect!! The differences in the two images are striking indeed! I am still climbing the latter to better preformance, but the climb is slow! LOL! I will contiue to try and when I think I am even close, I'll let you know and thanks so much for your help! This Lilly is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!!! Sincerely, Marilyn
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. ~Dorothea Lange
