I prefer simple , more natural floral shots. I did not use a tripod and There were no special "setups" used for this as I have limited equipment.
I was interested in capturing the beautiful color of these petals and having them just jump out ..I used a border to accentuate the contrast between the petals and the subtle greens in the bkrnd. I added just a touch more contrast to this image and used "dodge" on the center of the Susan. Other than sharpening this image, that is all I did.

Beautiful! Good to see you entering over here Cherie.
You picked a tough FS to enter. Your place on this one would be an 8++ at DA. Keep up the good work.
I was getting tired of the flower shots until I came to this one. It is simple and beautiful and different. It is a new flower with a more direct approach to floral photography. the depth of field is wonderful and I love that you used a yellow border. it really ties the whole thing together with the greens and yellows. I really really like this
