Azalea

I cut all my grass yesterday and the yard looked exceptionally beatiful this early AM. Couldn't resist the red Azaleas. I thought of all the shots I took, that this one was the best. The image is as it came from the camera with 100% crop and framing. I didn't think I could improve on nature but would appreciate your thoughts on that.

Nikon D80 1/500 f/5.6 90mm iso 100

    Beautiful shot! The composition is good and in this case I think that the decision not to edit was a good one.clap.gif

    Indeed it is a very pretty shot :D it's nice when the yards are all cut.
    I get Jim's Mowing to do mine, they can do it a lot faster than I can,
    plus they trim all the edges and take away the offcuts.

    Lovely shot Jack thumb.gif ... Skippy :D

    Thanks Skippy. Being retired I'd feel kinda selfindulgent having someone cut the grass. Plus I really do enjoy puttering in the yard.

    Thanks Phil. I tried mucking around with PS but that only negatively impacted the color so I left it alone.
