Challenge: Life III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: My foyer
Date: Jan 11, 2009
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/25
Galleries: Still Life, Floral
Date Uploaded: Jan 11, 2009

 Fresh tulips, Ikea bud vase, north light + reflector set against (and on) black foam board + glass for reflection.

Idea started with trying to have a bud, partially open bloom and fully open flower showing a sort of progression of life in a single scene ... but that wasn't working. My alternate entry is a bud juxtaposed with a full bloom, using shallow DOF. We'll see how my choice goes.

Don't expect much since the shot isn't terribly dynamic and not a captivating landscape of some sort; 5.5-5.8 or so.

A nice set-up with nice lighting and color. Looks a little weird on the right side of the bottle: probably due to size restrictions.

Technically it's no longer alive once it's cut...
