Huge congrats on a gorgeous POTD, Cindy!!! #9876837Cindy Bendush December 18, 2011
Thank you all so much!For those of you who asked, I shot this with my 105mm at f/16 with 3 ring flashes - not sure of their placement. This flower was GORGEOUS and the image was pretty much good to go. Other than a few RAW adjustments,I used Nik filters on this, viveza to lighten the center, the other classical soft focus. #9876840
