Challenge: Free Study VIII (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: my property

Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1600
Galleries: Macro, Floral
Date Uploaded: Apr 18, 2005

 I have about a month time frame to shoot most of the little wild flowers in my woods. To get this shot I had to lie on the ground kind of in a ditch shooting upwards. On this day it was pretty windy I think the slight movement of the flowers adds to the image. Shot with a Nikon Len Series E Zoom 36-72mm reversed for macro.

Macro photography is really fun with the right lens...lol I bought a 36-72mm lens and a 50mm lens for these little flowers this spring.

Resize, gamma, contrast, saturation.

Incredible way of showing us these flowers and this piece of nature. The softness and the colors and tones are what makes it what it is and makes it speak to us.

Reminds me of an oil painting! The dark bits at the bottom are a bit distracting, but its nicely done, I look forward to reading how this effect was achieved

This looks like a painting! I like it very much. YES it's another flower shot, but this ones looks very good. It gives me some feeling I can't describe....

Wonderful colours and effect, but can't help wishing the main flower was more in focus/ sharper.

It is not very clear to me. Good colors. Is it suppose to be out of focus?

I can't vote on members anymore, but that's unfortunate for you cuz this is a 10. My favorite pic I've seen in a long long time and definitely going in my favorites right now.
