Challenge: Free Study 2007-09 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM
Location: Shreveport, LA
Date: Sep 29, 2007
Aperture: F10
ISO: 500
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Nature, Floral
Date Uploaded: Sep 29, 2007

 Taken at the Shreveport American Rose Center. A little levels adjust, a little brightness/contrast, USM, Resize, USM and save for web. Very much within the basic editing rules.

This is my first submission with the 40D and I utilized the 'live view' for focus. Very useful tool when tripod mounted.

Not voting on this because I know it's yous, Ken, but just wanted to say again how much I love the colour and clarity of this.

sweet picture - nice colours and the drops of moisture on the flower finish it off nicely.

I think a tighter crop would have really brought this to life.

Nice flower good focus. The bright green leaf at the top though is a little distracting and my attention is drawn to it.

You need a shallower DOF here, and this could probably use a contrast bump as well.

Lovely texture in the flower. My only complaint here is the black dot in the center.

Pretty flower. There's a little dark spot in the center that I might have cloned out, and with just a bit more saturation on the leaves, I would have scored this a point higher. Nice job.

Love the focus and the details. A different angle might have made this a bit more of an interesting photo.

Beutifully vibrant colours! I wish it was slightly more in the third but still a lovely shot.
