Challenge: Pink (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
Date: Feb 5, 2005
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Nature, Floral
Date Uploaded: Feb 6, 2005

 After taking a bunch of images with the S50 I noticed that I'd forgotten to change the ISO setting from 200 back to 50. So, even tho I liked this picture, I had to work with it quite a bit. Gaussen Blur on the background, a tiny bit of painting in the pink areas and some dodging/burning in appropriate areas. After tramping through knee-high wet underbrush, I wanted that picture!

Nice angle, stamens all tucked inside the blossom and not wandering out into the bokeh...nice shot.

A great effect as the strong pink radiates about the subject. 7 on my first pass.

Good use of DOF. Composition seems slightly unbalanced, though still quite pretty.
