We always called these flowers buttercups but if anyone knows the real name please share.
For those who are not familiar with the buttercup, don’t stick your nose in one…
As little kids walking home from the bus stop we would pick the buttercups growing wildly on the side of the road and ask our friends to smell it. When someone stuck their nose up to the flower we would smash it against their nose leaving the yellow pollen all over the person’s nose. It was the funniest thing when we were little now…..not so funny.
I darkened the background, cropped and I know it’s dark but, that is they way I liked it, and it’s ok if you don’t :)
I have a bad case of "purple fringe" on the right side of the petals. anyone kjnow how to get rid of this??
Thanks for looking
Shelby

Hi Shelby,
A nice capture of these beautiful 'buttercups'. Like the nice purple and fine details. A tad dark though anyway a fine picture. Made a WS to show a different crop and some other adjustments. Hope you don't feel offended, it's an attractive photo my dear Shelby!
Hans

Excellent sharp details here Shelby! Your new camera is awesome! outstanding saturation too! I like this alot! As far as the purple fringe goes you can isolate it and change the color of it. or run a purple fringe fix...that may not do it though......

Shelby nice composition on this photo. Your BG work certainly helps enhance the flower.
I was thinking about the purple fringe comment... without seeing the flower I would have thought this was how the edges are supposed to look??
Off topic, are you working at the camp again this summer?

Hi Shelby

Our buttercups are bright yellow. As kids we used to hold them up to each others chins and if yellow reflected on the skin it meant you like butter...a more gentle version of your game!

This is a lovely image with fine details abd delicate colours. Nicely composed and with good focus
