    Congratulations Randy Stout
    Here comes the sun-back to natural light

    Another capture at Meijers Garden in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

    I really enjoyed working on different angles of view, going beyond the spread wings on a leaf picture. (I have a few of those too!) Tried to make the flash use subtle.

    Nikon D700 70-200 f/2.8 at f/9 1/125s ISO 500 Flash TTL/BL at -2.7 EV Handheld

    Post in Nikon Capture NX2. I brought down the brightness in the ULC, it was a bit overpowering. Wanted to keep the impression of sun direction however.

    Comments certainly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Randy
