Happy Valentines Day!!

[Richard Waas]

I photographed this image at Selby Gardens in Sarasota, Florida. I will tell you that I added a colored pencil effect, but can you tell me what the subject is? ISO 200, f/25.0, 2.5 secs, EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro, Spot Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. This part of the subject was small, that's why I used spot metering in order to isolate it.

I guess the give away was "Selby Gardens". Next time I'll be more secretive. The center of the flower was about 3/8" wide and I wish I had more light to light the center, but it was fun thinking ahead to Valentines Day.
