Priviet, dear friends!
As you might know, we have Dacha - small out-of-town house with a garden - lovely place where my wife grows flowers...
some photos from there:

Aperture priority to get this DOF (2.2 in macro)
My Sony F707 gives hypertrophied red - so I reduced Red a bit, made copy of layer in PS, used OptikVervelabs filters (b&w result) and played with opacity...

Like how this flower of dog-rose becomes a berry (hips).
Aperture priority again. Evening red-gold sun...

Hips...

These flowers look like a pie!

To emphasize sun light, I use Harry's method (Harry Behret) in PS - copy layer, Multiply blending mode Blur-> Gaussian blur (wyn - what you need), opacity - wyn.

    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!"
