Challenge: Zen Photography III (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-1000D Rebel XS
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Location: Pune, India
Date: Apr 14, 2010
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/60s
Date Uploaded: Apr 15, 2010

 Wish there was sufficient light to reduce the ISO to 100 but i am using lights from two table lamps.. so could not get bigger DOF and ISO... I hope the "roses" i can see in this are visible to others too.

Post Processing:
1. RAW conversion with RAW
In GIMP...
2. Curves
3. Inverse Colors
4. Layer with selective coloring on Screen mode

(hope this is allowed in Advanced editing.. if yes i am so happy this week its advanced editing :D)

Why ZEN: a. Simplicity of this photo b. Its from insense sticks.. so bit religious :) c. It feels very serene to me!

Possible comments i am going to get:
1. Not Sharp ... I wish i could use f/10 or f/16
2. Noise: ISO 400 :(

It seems a little bit blurry to me, maybe it was out of focus or the shutter speed was too slow? Anyway, nice photo, doesn't "shout" zen but it's simple and clean :)

Looks like a Green dame and Red guy giving each other the once-over.

I think you meant smokey :-) Of course, it doesn't affect my vote - I am the spelling police LOL
