Challenge: Fill the Frame II (Expert Editing*)
Camera: Olympus E-500 EVOLT
Lens: Olympus 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Digital ED
Location: Home
Date: Jan 20, 2007
Aperture: F8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 5s
Galleries: Still Life, Macro
Date Uploaded: Jan 23, 2007

 This was shot at night under one of those long life flourescent lights at 5s exposure. Being back at work, it is difficult to shoot during the day... :(

I used Picasa to process this in the early stages (*gasp*) to add the soft focus ring. In PS I then adjusted saturation and cloned out some distracting spots on the leaves.

I know this is Expert Editing but I felt that this shot did not necessitate it.

This probably won't do that well but let's see.

The lighting is nearly harsh, but I like the soft glow you've given this.

Great lighting, and good choice of subject. I see the effect you were going for, but it's a bit too soft for my taste.

I normally don't like abstract type shots such as this, but this one works quite well! Great exercise in lighting for effect!

Not completely filling the frame, but close enough. I like the details of this email, and like the slightly blurred look on the right.
