Good Morning TrekLens:
 Brighten your day with this flower.
I am posting this just for fun. Captured at
400ISO to catch the backlit light. I kept it at F/4 to make the DOF less dominant, and shutter speed at 160 to beat the slight wind.
I have kept all the settings

completely manual
to have a better control.
No color shift except sizing.
These days I am using Abode Illustrator to make the frames and then open them in Photoshop as transparent and then dropping them over the image.
The Frame is STRONG on purpose if you may.

Wishing you a wonderful day
David

Hi David Phillips..!

Very nice captured, very soft and warm touch, the frame is a bit distracting cos its hard black color with gray shade and the flower with very soft touch, but its looking good......why is that? cos its something new and creative.

The colours of your flower are strong enough to merit that powerful frame, IMHO, David
Great work

Hi David
The flower is flawless - Just a perfect exposure - clarity is spot on and lighting is what I expect from your posting. Having said all that I'm not sure about the frame. It is bold, but personally it is a distraction.
