    I took this photo last year in the Longwood Gardens Conservatory.
    Nikon D300, Sigma 105mm macro, 1/40, f3.5, ISO ?, tripod, natural light.
    PP in PS7, Topaz Simplify, added one of my textures, various blending modes.
    C&C always appreciated.

    Anita, This is dreamy and lovely. The colors and the overlay are terrific. Longwood is very spectacular, I'm looking forward to returning soon. I do see a small straight line on the right top area that I would smooth over. Also the bright circle at the bottom left I might blend if it were mine. Nice work.

    Thanks for pointing out the areas needing correction.

    I understand that Longwood now allows tripods in the Conservatory only in the morning. If you come down, we might be able to meet there. I haven't been in months, but usually go during the week to avoid the crowds.

    Anita, I'm not going to be around till December. Then I have the Christmas Spectacular at Longwood on Dec. 12th. It is a Sunday morning workshop till noon. I do plan on staying a couple of hours afterwards to do blurs. Not sure if I will be able to make it back till after March. But shoot me a PM if you ever plan to go-I'd love to meet in person and shoot together.

    Hey Denise,

    Is there room left for the Christmas Spectacular? If so, how do I sign up?

    Very soft and gentle feel to this image Anita. I like the colors and the comp. Not too overdone with the effects either. :)

    Lovely soft feel, Anita. The pink colors are just gorgeous, and I like the comp. I might have preferred just a little more detail in the flowers, but that's just my personal opinion.

    Anita, this has a wonderful soft feel to it and the colors are just perfect! In addition to what Denise pointed out, you might consider blurring the edge of the petal near the center right. It seems just a tad too sharp for this otherwise soft image.
