Columbine
Uploaded: June 18, 2013
Taken at Ft Worth Botanical Gardens in April 2013. The sun was coming thru just right to make the flower look like is was glowing.
Nikon D7000, 18-200mm lens, 1/640, f10, ISO 4000, 200mm. PP in LR5 only.

This is the corrected photo. Stephen, I made the adjustment to darken the background again. I'm not sure what happened as to why it brightened. I must have made an adjustment incorrectly. #1532827Kristin Duff June 18, 2013

Beautifully composed and captured, Kalena. I love the tones, the lighting, and the timeless feel of this lovely floral. #10738115Debbie E. Payne June 19, 2013
Beautiful, Kalena. It almost looks like you applied a coffee filter. Columbines are my favorite, coming from Colorado. #10738141Dale Hardin June 19, 2013
Love this Kalena and especially the treatment. Thanks for giving the name. I shot some of these while on the trip but didn't know what they were. #10738187Michael Kelly June 19, 2013
Wonderful light! Really makes this shot a standout. Did you reduce the color saturation or is this how it looked? #10738477Kalena Randall June 19, 2013
I uses a LR5 preset on this one and then made minor adjustments elsewhere. I'm enjoying LR5 a bunch. Adobe made some nice improvements to it. I can't layer here, but other adjustments are great!I really like this photo. The color one was not as good. #10738661
