Challenge: Stock Photography III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

 This is a setup I did a few years ago. I submitted it to shuterstock, and it was rejected for blown highlights and not sharp enough.

In that time, I have learned a lot, and gotten much better at shooting and submitting stock. I used to get about 35% accepted, now it's closer to 75%.

So when this challenge cMe up, I wanted to redo this setup. I used my new studio lights. I used focus stacking, and I used my secret sharpening weapon: Nik Sharpener Pro.

I will be submitting this to shuterstock soon :)

Love love and more love, I would think this would totally belong on a stock site!

Detail is good, sharpness it good, having a hard time with the colors but that is just me not you
This is one of my spark personal ribbon choices, well done!
