Hello Peter,
This is a lovely shot! Apart from the sharpness and composition, I think the contrast of the flower with the dark BG highlights the subject and the yellow center is a fine warm focal point.
Well done and best wishes for 2007!

Guten Morgen Peter,
diese Blüte hast du faszinierend ins Licht gesetzt - wirklich eine sehr ästhetische Darstellung. Blickwinkel, Tiefenschärfenbereich und Licht stimmen einfach.
Nach dem Anklicken des 'thumbnails' war ich schlichtweg begeistert. Punkte gibt es nicht für die Schönheit der Blüte sondern für die professionelle Art wie du sie präsentiertst.
Schöne Grüße, einen guten Start ins NEUE JAHR und danach viele bezaubernde Bilder,
Peter

Hello Peter,
Really wonderful shot of the Lotus flower, excellent focus, lovely colours and a very beautiful composition!
(The Tibetan Buddhists say a prayer that goes: "om mani padme hum" which means roughly "Hail to the jewel of the Lotus flower". Buddha is also very often depicted sitting in a Lotus flower.)
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Peter
Shear exquisite beauty in the extreme my friend. I need to add a WOW somewhere in here as well, so there, I’ve done it.
Immaculate work. Technically, artistically, and aesthetically it is without blemish. You seem to have had the end result perfectly in you head as it was produced with the utmost care and vision.
The composition is stunning and the colours are absolutely brilliant. The details on the petals and the delicate centre with the stamens of the flower are just perfect. This sharpness carry throughout the range of the DOF hence it’s completely lifelike. So much so that I just want to pick it and give it to my wife to score some major bonus points. The dark BG works excellently to highlight the lily and the lighting/exposure was masterfully controlled.
Great work my friend and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Peter
What a splendid photo!!!
I'm most impressed by the perfect light intensity and management here. I really love that!
Also the strong contrast beteen the brighter flower and the darker surrounding enhances all the features of the subject and isolates it very well, too.
The sharpness of the details is top-class everywhere and the excellent DOF gave you full focus on every edge of every petal.
The colols are also a key factor and theay are simply suberb, as well as the middle part of the flower which also present a lot of intrest due to a rather unusual shape.
A magnificent post, my friend!
Bravo, TFS and Happy Holidays!

Hello Peter,
I'm usaully not one for flowers but you just made me a convert. This shot is just superb in all ways. I had to run and show my wife as soon as I saw it, she is equally impressed. Thanks very much, Rick
Hej Peter,
the light is wonderful and the colours are beautiful.
Sharpness and exposure are spot on.
I only wonder why you hide this beautiful picture in 2,5 years.Into my fav's
Great work, my Friend.
I wish you a Happy New Year
Hi Peter.
At first instant my breath has grasped from seen. Further I have seen a to a pain familiar word "Minolta". And all has become clear for me. In hands of such artist as you, this device can work wonders.
Outstanding in its quality and beauty piece of art. Amazing lighting outgoing from the heart of a flower. Tremendous range of rose tones and outstanding sharpness and details of the petals. Delightful immersing of a flower in a velvet of a background.
BRAVO, BRAVO and BRAVO, my dear friend and Great Master.
Alexei.

Absolutely exquisite on all levels, Peter.
I love the POV, the way the petals fall, exposing the pistils in the center. The colors are just gorgeous, brought out in perfect exposure. Details are superbly sharp.
A beautiful, beautiful shot.

Hello Peter,
Magnificent flower close up.Colors,clear details,exposure,POV,framing,BG and composition are excellent.Happy New Year for you and your family too.
TFS...:-)
Una de esas capturas que personalmente más me agradan y que tienen mucho que ver con mis actuales presentaciones Peter.
La calidez de los colores, el buen control de la luz para lograr ese equilibrio, la agudeza y foco exactos, combinados con un perfecto fondo.
Para completar la perfecta conjunción entre el punto de vista captado y el armonioso encuadre.
Una gran presentación, como tantas de las que has publicado este año en el que he tenido la suerte de compartir tan bellas imágenes y conocer gente como tú.
Gracias por todo.
Mis mejores deseos... Ricardo
One of those captures that personally more I like and that they have a lot to do with my current presentations Peter.
The warmth of the colors, the good control of the light to achieve that balance, the sharpness and exact focus, combined with a perfect background.
To complete the perfect conjunction between the captured point of view and the harmonious framing.
A great presentation, as so many of those that you have published this year in which I have had the luck to share so beautiful images and to know people as you.
Thank you for everything.
My best wishes... Ricardo

Hallo Peter,
da hast Du uns aber schon einige Zeit diese Kostbarkeit vorenthalten! Gratulation - ein Traum von einer Blüte. Keine Ahnung, was, wo und wie man aus diesem Foto noch etwas herauskitzeln kann. DAS IST EIN PERFEKTES FOTO HERR STOECKL!!! (ich muß wohl doch zum Augendoc - so etwas tagelang zu übersehen...) Ich kann mich nur wieder wundern, dass so ein tolles Foto "nur" so wenig Punkte bekommen hat. (müssen wohl noch mehr zum Augenarzt..ggg.) Auf jeden Fall ist des Foto ein Genuß für´s Auge und das Gemüt. ----
Ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Famile lieber Nachbar aus der schönen Stadt an der Donau ein glückliches und gesundes Neues Jahr.
Lieben Gruss aus Ostwestfalen
Heinz

Hallo Peter,
Der symbolischen Perfektion des Lotus, steht die Perfektion Deines Bildes gegenüber. Da kann man nur noch staunen..(Witzig, dass Du das Bild in Italien gemacht hast).
Liebe Grüsse und nur das Beste für 2007

Peter, I find this photo outstanding because of the simplicity of it, the two main colours against the black b/g.
The soft pink, and the mellow yellow are gentle and well presented.
In many ways this photo reminds me of a peony. The stamens are so similar, just the seedbox is shaped differently, and also very unusual. The flower seems to glow from this centre. Magical! Thanx, Jay
