Challenge: Pink (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D

Date: Feb 1, 2005
Aperture: f22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/8

Taken against the light I was delighted by the small star shaped light bursts. These appear when light is shining through a small gap. The flowers were covered in rain drops so I imagine that water droplets played a part. Sigma 105 mm macro lens used.

Interesting photo, I like the little "star bursts" .

Beautiful and I love the sparkles

The star filter effect is ok but because the top left of the flower is severely blown out the whole image suffers.

A great delicate study with a most pleasing hue and form expression with just the right accents of pink. 7 on first pass.

Returning for comment:
the light stars add a lot of elegance to the picture although the fowers give me a feeling of over-neatImage. A bit of the details are lost.

Very nice lighting, I like the lens flares and the bokeh. The white area in the upper right is only slightly distracting but the overall image is lovely.

Beautiful. I'm assuming you used a starlight filter... and I love the effects on the dew.10
