Backlight Flowers

I used dry brush filter on this image to give it an artistic painted effect.

Thank you Cindy. The flowers are sitting on an 8ft piece of white foam core board on the dining table. There is a glass french door directly behind through which the afternoon sun comes through for a brief period. I have to work fast because the sun is so low and about to go behind the trees. To keep the board in the background I have to raise the camera up high on extended tripod column. Settings were 1.8 sec. at f16, aperture prio.,ISO 100, focal length 225 (70-200 2.8 VR on 1.4x digital D2x) White Balance was manual at 4750K. I wanted to experiment with WB as shooting indoors with fading sunlight was not giving me exactly what I needed. But in the end I liked the WB effect with the blue tones as it set a mood for the photo. I desaturated the greens and took the blues down some. I dodged highlights and burned shadow details like the lines of the flowers. Dry brush is the effect I prefer most in PS. I hope this helps. #3977385
