Camera: Nikon D300s
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Front garden
Date: Jul 25, 2010
Aperture: f6.3
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Macro, Floral
Date Uploaded: Jul 25, 2010

 Used a Canon 500D Filter on the lens so I could get closer.
Came out and saw all the droplets hanging off the marigolds. Havent' played with my camera in awhile and figured it was time.
Converted Raw to DNG and processed in CS3.
Curves, shapening, warm and cold white balance, noise ninja the background.

Out of all my marigold photos I processed my husband picked this one.

I love taking photos but I just can't seem to get the processing down to save my life. I always end up overdoing something. Oh well I will keep on plugging.

Overall, a good photo. I would have probably left out the close flower, as it's more of a distraction than anything (it doesn't really help the shallow DOF aspect to me).

good complementary colours, foreground object reinforces dof but distracting, maybe if it was behind?
