The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Next in the series of this marvelous succulent. A day after Happy Valentine’s Day the tips crossed and a few more buds started to open.
Had to bring it inside for this to avoid some strong breezes. Used the CLAR light to supplement the studio.

Bill, I think this is striking and very sharp - your stacking process certainly works. My only criticism is that I believe the image is a bit dark as the entire histogram is on the left hand side of the luminance histogram. Perhaps an increase in light and then a compensation in saturation is needed.
This is superb, Bill. I love your lighting and tonality in this image and this plant is just so photogenic. What is this variety anyhow?

@Dennis_Plank this is a Mexican Snowball. We have another variant that has completely different flowers. Stay tuned.
Thanks, Bill. My wife is very interested, though we might need supplementary light up here.
