Challenge: Delicate (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5100
Location: backyard
Date: Oct 24, 2005
Aperture: F/6.3
ISO: 64
Shutter: 6.5 sec.
Galleries: Nature, Floral
Date Uploaded: Oct 24, 2005

 I shot this in my backyard just as it was getting light in the morning. Mostly natural light, but also used (once again) my little flashlight with a red lens to give the subject some red highlights. Used a black card for a backdrop.

Editing steps: histogram contrast adjust for both luminence and color, up the saturation a little, salt & pepper noise removal, add borders, resize, unsharp mask, compress & save.

hummmm, to me this does not look delicate at all - it fact it looks prickly, sharp and hurtful if touched
