Hullo, all. I couldn't decide where to put this, so admin, if you want to move it, feel free.

I shot this with my 7d, flash, 18-55 kit lens and a 10X magnifier. I jacked up the f stop to compensate for very shallow DoF produced by the magnifier. I then PS, blurred, created a vignette, and generally fiddled. While it is technically a macro, or nature, the PS I did after made it more general category.

So anyway, thank you for looking. Please comment.

Thanks, Baydream. I was trying for something akin to highkey, but it didn't turn out that way. I don't know what I have to do to create that effect yet. Research time.

The white looks a little too blurred, and the orange pops but a little too much compared to the rest of the flower. Maybe you fiddled w/it tmore than it needed, I think w/less effects it could be a beautiful photo. You seem to have a good eye for composition and this subject has some lovely color,

It is very different! I initially thought it was a blueberry in a white cloth :)
