Mystique Rose

This rose is SO difficult to get the right shade on -- impossible outside. To get even remotely close (which this is), I had to use a custom WB and softbox. The flash had a 1/4 blue gel, down to 1/2 power. And, it STILL isn't as dark red-purple as it is in real life. :( But, it poses well. :D

Thanks very much. I finally DID get the right color after over 2 hours of trying different lighting combinations and camera settings. VERY frustrating. :blink:

It certainly is a beautiful flower well shot. Nice work, Gary.

We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now.
