Truly In-Camera this time

[Amy DeStefanis]

OK - this one really IS in-camera (or would it be in-lens?).

Not something you want to make a habit of, but if you're in Florida, and you go out back to take pictures of flowers, you have an excellent chance of having the "condensation halo" effect.... The only post processing was to adjust the blacks, sharpen, and add some saturation. This is a shot of a Siam Tulip (really a ginger).

Thanks for looking,

Hehehe, I know exactly what you mean, the Florida fog :)

It worked to your advantage here, creating a soft glow, similar to the Orton effect.

Very lovely!

sweet......

Very nice! I wish the hot spots weren't there but they aren't all that distracting considering how gorgeous the flower is.

Hi Amy,
I love your composition very much. The pastel colors are very pleasing to the eyes. The dark background makes your flower glow...:) I'm not bothered by the little warm spots...;) It gives this lady character...congrats on a lovely image...looking foward to your next creation...:cool:
