Canon 7D Canon 180mmmacro ISO 100 1/320 f9 -0.67 Fill in flash - 1.67

Not the shot I was looking for but the sun was very directional, this is against the light (in fact there was very little light at all the dark area is a hedgerow and the sun was behind it. ) I used a little fill in flash. I used some selctive sharpening to avoid the water droplets becoming too refractile of bright.
All C&C welcome.

Hi Jonathan, I like the effect of the light here. It creates a bit of a gloomy mood, especially with the dead flower. Nice composition and I like that the butterfly sticks out its tongue :).

Hey Jonathan,
I agree with Jerry.....this one has a very moody look to it.....and I find it very appealing! I'd be real tempted to clean up a few of the highlights.....but all in all very well handled and an interesting take on this BF!

Look good as is. You did very well with the lighting.

Hi Jonathon. I like the butterfly with the water droplets, but the dark, dead flower isn't working that well for me. Maybe I'm just not in the right mood. :confused: Looks like I'm in the minority again. :)
