I created this image over the weekend but just now got around to processing it. I used my 100mm macro lens and a 20mm extention tube to get this view. I'm not sure I love where the stamen/pistil ended up but the point was to get that ruffled edge along the cup to pop out so I'm happy with that part of it.
I used "sharpen edges" to leave the daffodil soft but pop that ruffle...something I don't often use.
Canon 40D, EF 100mm f/2.8 macro, Kenko Extension Tube
f8 @ 1/125th, ISO 400
Manual mode, pattern metering, handheld (elbows on the table)
Outside light under a shade tree.
Processed in ACR & CS4; used the "white neutralizer" filter in Nik Color Efex to balance the WB.
