    Hi Everyone,
    Here is another floral offering for the weekly theme :)
    50D 300 f/2.8
    ISO 640
    f/29 1/6th sec
    Exp comp @ +1
    In PP I cropped an already movement-blurred image, painted out any remaining BG colour and brought out the colour of the flowers with a combination of curves and photoshop filters. From last summer.
    Look forward to your C & C's.
    Best to all, Nicki

    Nicki, Another beautiful image from you. Has your trademark look. Love the high key and I love that I knew it was a Poppy immediately. Nicely done.

    Nicki, I really like this - it has so many different things it could be. I definitely see the poppies but it could
    be an Andy Warhol of Marilyn Monroe's lips:D or a Georgia O'Keefe but it is mainly a beautiful Nikki painting:)
