This Gerbera bud was a half day away from being a full bloom when I snapped its portrait. I processed it in Adobe's Camera Raw and added an antique color action at the end.

Very fitting for the half blossom Juli !!! Love the antique color treatment Does set the mood !!!!
awesome, julie!! love the feel. great job with the treatment!
i'm always partial to white on black. well done. The background bud looks a tad oof. perhaps shooting at higher f-stop.
Michael, you're right...a higher f/stop would have given me a full DOF on the flower but that wasn't what I was going for. I wanted to draw your attention to the front petals to highlight the part of the flower that still was yet to open. I know it's purely a matter of taste, but I shot a few with a higher DOF and this was the one that fit what I was trying to convey.
Make sense?
Lovely tints, Julie, I feel it needs a bit more room in the left.
Yes, Fabs, now that you mention it...I see that, too! Just trying to keep the thing from being dead center - I'll give it a little tweak on my next go-round.
Nicely done Julie,
Very delicate. Great texture and color rendition...:cool:
Very smooth Julie. Like the BG on this one also.
