Challenge: Abstract Macro II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: HP PhotoSmart R707
Location: wyoming
Date: Sep 24, 2006
Galleries: Nature, Floral
Date Uploaded: Sep 24, 2006

 a flower of course, the blured look is from moving the camera with a slow shutter speed. I wanted the impression of a flower, not just another flower picture. in editing i simply inverted the colors and played around with the hue a bit and a little sharpening.

I think i achieved the look i wanted although i think i liked it more before i inverted the colors, last min decision and sometimes those are regreted. Live and learn i guess!

Not sure why it didn't do better in the challenge. You received my only 10. I truly thought you'd be near the top of the heap. It's still excellent!

This is one of those WOW shots. Instead of giving a 7 placeholder for bump later, I'll just give you the 10 now. Excellent.
