Description

I took this right after the sunset and experimented with Photoshop's levels and curves to adjust the lighting

Anazing what you can drag out of an apparently mis-exposed image, no? I might adjust some of the greenish color at the edges so it comes off a little differently than green...But it is hard to say what is the right thing to do without experimenting. The center of the flower is great, though. #1923450

Thank you Richard. I really appreciate the feedback and will use your suggestion. I saw your gallery and I love the way you use your colors in all your images. Mahal Nui Loa! #1923701

I guess to some extent I see what I struggle with! Color enhancement is a favorite area of mine... #1923852
