Pink Painted Quartet


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Pink Painted Quartet - Kenilworth Gardens
Pink Painted Quartet - Kenilworth Gardens
The image was cropped from one taken at Kenilworth Gardens in Washington, DC. It was a RAW capture with a Sigma 28-135 lens, at 82mm, 1/30 sec, F13, ISO 200. Of course I wished I had used a deeper depth of field, so to salvage the foursome, which I liked, I cloned out some merged petals from other blossoms (maybe should have removed more, but wanted to keep a somewhat natural look) adjusted color, toned down a couple of hot spots, replaced a heavy leaf with copied more subtle leaf parts...all with Photoshop 7.0. Then I used PS filters to give it a painterly look.

Corinne M. Thompson 		  I like the "painterly effects" on this...nicely composed with beautiful detail and colors.
