Challenge: Bokeh II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D50
Location: Front Garden
Date: Jun 16, 2006
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1000
Date Uploaded: Jun 18, 2006

 Shot with a 105mm macro lens. Cropped, sharpened and adjusted brightness.

This flower towers above the blade-like leaves, thus the title. Is a very sporadic bloomer and then the flower doesn\'t live long.

Hope I understood the challenge details. This is the first contest I have had time to enter in a while, and the first using my new camera.

Very nicely done. I like the dark tones in the background.

This entry has very over-processed look. The oof areas look pretty ugly and does not enhance the picture in any way. A very average entry.

Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a flower - I have nothing against flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). Good luck!
