Tiny flowers growing in my mom's garden. Plucked one and brought it indoors to shoot it under controlled lighting, instead of in the blazing sun outside.
Shot using a fill flash, bounced on the ceiling with my kit lens.
Shot in RAW mode, boosted exposure by 1/2 stop, using the new EosVU from Canon.
In PS: 10D sharpener action, crop, resize, dodged one flower, USM, and reduced saturation and added softness using an action I got off the web (moody). It basically just reduced the saturation and contrast and added a gaussian blur layer. Finally, desaturated the BG a little more using the sponge tool on desaturate.
I liked the overall effect, but this will probably bomb. Who knows, maybe not...

they are so soft, they almost look like frosting flowers on a cake. the texture is so defined, they "feel" like paper to me.
wonderful use of DOF to isolate them.
