Description

This was an image taken at Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC in April '08. The dogwood and azaleas were blooming amidst the Spanish moss-laden trees. Far too 'busy' for my kit lens to do justice to, I used Topaz Simplify to better expose the colors.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 10/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 640, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 44.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Thanks for those terrific comments Juri, Tiia, Mary, Melissa, Rolan, & Jessica!

The original photo simply had no impact (kit lens, no polarizer, no tripod, no talent!)...but conceptually, it seemed to have promise! This is my first attempt at anything much beyond basic crop & level. #8000404
