High Key Tulip

[Anita Bower]

I took this photo indoors using natural light and overexposing a bit. In post processing I added a bit of a High Key and Glamor Glow filters in Color Efex Pro. Desaturation, crop, clone and DeNoise.

Nikon D300, 105mm macro, tripod, f36, ISO 125, 1.60 sec.

Another nice pink and green, Anita. I like the composition and the high key look, but I wonder about a bit more contrast.

I like the nice, soft, pastel look. This is a nice change from the usual brilliance of tulips.

Hi Anita....Lovely image! You might consider defining the lower petal edge just a bit more!

[Anita Bower]

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I darkened some of the edges.

Hi Anita. Another beautiful image with lovely pastels and a pleasing comp. Both versions have their merits, but for my tastes, I think I prefer the repost. Very well done!

[Anita Bower]

Thank you, Steve. Based on some comments over in OOTB, I cropped a bit off the right side and made the bg more white. I always appreciate feedback. :-)

Hi Anita, very nice flower and I like the one petal hanging down, adding interest to the image. I like the soft original post, because of the painterly look. I do see the merits of the repost with more contrast and color as well. Well done!

Anita, this is lovely! You did a fantastic job creating the soft look. The one out of place petal adds a lot to this composition. I prefer the OP and the other comments I was going to make were already covered by the OOTB crowd. :S3:

[Anita Bower]

Thank you Jerry and Ken.

Very nice image Anita! I like the soft look and colors. The lower petals makes it!
