On our vacation in Maine, we stopped at the Merryspring Nature Center. It was near noon and sunny, so my husband held a diffuser over the flowers I wanted to photograph. I used a plamp to hold flowers as there was a breeze. 105mm macro, tripod.
Processed in Elements 10: Skew, clone, crop, selective saturation and desaturation; selective T. Detail; CEP: Glamour Glow; Viveza; Gaussian Blur and Radial Blur.
Texture: "Spring Green" by Sienna62 .
I don't always try to represent flowers with their exact colors; rather, as I see them in my mind's eye. However, the colors look definitely more saturated here than in Elements 10. Any idea why? I changed color mode to sRGB.
