Sunshine On My Shoulders

[Julie Kenward]

One of these days I'm going to tire of these gerberas...but not quite yet! :D

Canon 40D, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
f/3.2 @ 1/80th; ISO 200
Eval Meter / AWB / Early Evening sun - side lit

Processed in Camera Raw. Added an ethereal glow action and blurred the beautiful bokeh to give it a more "painted" feel.

Gorgeous flower. This really has the feel of a Monet (at least to me). I like the way you played with the lighting.

When you produce images that gorgeous, I hope you never tire! If I had taken it, I'd hang it on a wall where everyone coming to my house couldn't help but see it!

[John Cooper]

Man, you are good at this stuff. Your images grab the veiwer's eye and hold them. Love the soft light, the colors, and the mood.
