Rondo in Blue
Uploaded: September 25, 2010
Shot in RAW and taken with a small aperture of 20 for more detail.
Developed in Adobe RAW editor and then refined in Adobe CS5.
Using the selection tool I selected the flowers, reversed the selection and softened the background to create a shallow DOF look.
