Challenge: Color on Color (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro for Canon
Location: Brecon
Date: Jul 21, 2006
Aperture: f8.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/160
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: Jul 21, 2006

 Taken at 300ml using the macro function of the lens.

Severely cropped. Used levels to increase the shadows (this really made the yellow stand out). Smart sharpen mask. Reduced size and saved as JPEG.

The wasps seemed to be going mad for this plant (which I think is fennel) today.

Very nice. :) Great idea for Color on Color. I personally think I would have scored it even higher if you had cropped the top to be the top of the yellow flowers though so you don't see the dark background.

NICE JOB. WAS THIS TAKEN WITHOUT A TRIPOD? GREAT BLURING OF THE BACKGROUND, JUST NEEDS A LITTLE SHARPER FOCUS.
