Challenge: December Free Study (Advanced Editing I*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G2
Location: Michigan
Date: Dec 16, 2003
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 50
Shutter: 0.4
Galleries: Still Life, Floral
Date Uploaded: Dec 31, 2003

 Used Clone pollenhot spots, then used burn around the edges of the petal to enhance the richness of the shot. The lighting was ambient light plus a small flashlight. It was an easy shot though, this is the most perfect blossom I've ever seen.

Though a bit harsh, nicely lit. Stamens at top are a bit blown out.

Beautiful color, and nice lighting. The photo feels the tiniest bit soft, but it doesn't hurt the shot at all, in fact kind of works with this particular flower. I like that there is something at the bottom of the shot "grounding" the flower - you didn't leave it just "floating" around against the black background.

Nice soft flower pic. In my opionion the color could use a little boost, on the other hand it is pretty calm this way. 8

this is a nice shot. I think the composition could be a little different. Maybe a tighter crop removing some of the top. Color and focus is really good.
