Dan, that's fine. I actually looked at your full set of daffodils on your photo.net page.
Just in case, - here what I thought might satisfy your requirements of seeing everything inside the flower, while the flower appears less "flat": http://www.pbase.com/image/36200404 I am not saying this is ideal or the only possibility. It's just what I found upon a quick search in google to illustrate my thoughts. I hope this would be helpful. Cheers, Igor Mon Apr 22 11:02:56 EDT 2013 Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Thanks, Igor. I have a few of those which I may post later. What I did this weekend was partly trying to get a few decent images, despite the wind and the necessity of lying flat on the cold wet ground, but mostly to document the different varieties of daffodils in my yard. Therefore, in most cases, art took a back seat to the desire to clearly depict all the part of each variety. In most cases, a frontal view is the only way to capture the interior, including the stigma, pistil and anther, as well as the larger parts, such as the sepal and corona.
