Captured at Viera Wetlands while looking for the Colts. Taken from my knee, hand held. It was my choice not to cle out the other flowers.

Looks very sharp Fabs, and you couldn't ask for a prettier BG.

Fabs, did you expose this on the light side in camera or did you bring it up more in pp? Would love to hear how you got such a lovely end result. Please share!

[Fabs Forns]

Thanks guys.
Jules, it's properly exposed in camera, but the BG was dry grass, very far away, giving it the high key look. This was the only keeper of the series because of the strong breeze and the difficulty of working on one knee :o

Hey Fabs,
The high key is quite unusual but works nicely with the DF! I will admit that I am not thrilled with the stuff on the right:).....but the concept and colors are fantastic!
