Hopefully this is the right category.

21676396-M.jpg


F2.8 @ 1/600, iso100, 36mm focal length *210mm film equivalent I believe*

Post processing was just some cleanup, nothing major. then some hue/sat, I think I actually decreased the sat in this one, curves, some shad/highlight treatment, then unsharpenmask.

Im not sure how I like the composition, or if the majority of viewers may dislike how the top is out of the dof range. Also the top looks different than what I remember from the original, so Ill have to take a look at it to see if resizing and/or jpg level 6 did it.

edit > tweeked the image a bit more and reuploaded.

    Hey Gary,

    Pretty shot. I think I would have tried to get lower for that shot so iwasn't shooting at such a downward angle.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hi Harry, thanks for the reply. But my name is Gerry. :0)

    Some people have commented about the green not looking right so I retweeked the image and posted the new version above. Ive also added the out of camera original for comparison.

    If I had of tried a lower angle I woudlnt have had as many tulips visible. I was thinking of getting a lower angle next time and try to get the sky in it, but during this photoshooting I didnt have time to try that.
