Lovely shots Dave. As long as you're honest, I should have thought
that you could finish your photos how you like. I have just used a
Lastolite Black reflector to take a Passion Flower that my wife has
cleverly grown; I did not want plastic greenhouse roof in the
background. In fact, I should suggest that you use a larger aperture
to throw some of your backgrounds out of focus - for instance,
P7150302.JPG has a rather distracting wall behind (is that a blue
Convolvulus?).
Cheers
Chris

This will probably start or re-start quite a discussion.
My passion has been macro photography. I have finally found a tool that, to
my way of thinking, lends itself very well to that pursuit; the E-20.
In another forum it was suggested that the florals I shoot are not "honest".
That is, since I have used Photoshop to process them, especially to change
or eliminate the background, I have violated some unwritten ( or is it
written somewhere) rule. I should contrive to shoot the macro and leave ALL
elements in the resulting photo.
