Al created a couple of stunning flora images the other day by using a colored flower as the BG behind his main flower. I decided to give it a try tonight when I saw this clematis bud lying in front of an open bloom.
Canon 40D, EF 100mm f/2.8 macro
f3.5 @ 1/60th, ISO 400
Manual mode, pattern metering, handheld, no flash
Processed in ACR & CS4; small crop and levels adjustments, used a soft glamblur over the image and then masked it off the flower to help diffuse the strong blue BG color.
