Coneflower Twins

[Bruce Murden]

CAPT - in Falls Park, Greenville, SC, while waiting for the sun to leave the waterfalls (see http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=38556 for the overview of the Reedy River Falls in the park).

Nikon D80, Nikkor 105 micro, ISO 400, f/16, 1/60 s, tripod, on camera fill flash @ -1 EV
processed in LR2; some cloning of spots and open areas between petals, Gaussian blur of BG, and sharpening in PS3.

Nicely done. Cone Flowers are very colorful, but hard to do well. I like the OOF "twin".

Beautiful! Any way you could pull a little more detail out of the cone areas? I'd love to see an even greater sense of depth there. Wonderful image, Bruce.

Impressive duo with clean BG and good light. Good choice of DOF.
