Location: In front of my house

Aperture: f/22

 This shot was inspired by Genesis submitted in the first elements challenge. I like this shot a lot along with the whole idea but I wanted to give it a different feeling. This was shot outside almost directly in the setting sun. I set the exposure in a way where almost no sunlight would be in the image and I lit it with one of my opus studio strobes at nearly full power. Post processing is: Converted with ACR, USM 20%, 50px, 0, Saturation +25, resized to 640, USM 250%, 0.4px, 0.

I hope it do as well as the original in order to help the best team ever to prove it to the face of the world!!! ;-P

Lighting is too harsh, and the subject is not original. The hands compete with the flower for attention -- would have been better shooting from the front or straight down. Just a 4 from me.

Highlights are a bit strong in places. Color and clarity are perfect. Good shot.

Almost. Good focus of hands. but what about the plant. perhaps a second light source or reflection of light on flower.
