Aperture: f/ 13

Tried to capture something with water tension around it and used a cut cosmos in a big bowl of water by the blinds of my right window. I placed a sheet or two of blue construction paper in the water.

A lot of spot editing for dust sensor and real. Could be brighter you say. Probably but the flower pops just so, I think.

Later. I'll try to shoot better next month.

Addenda: I reopened my original final edit in camera raw and made some adjusmtments to brighten the image a bit.

I took a picture JUST like this the other day & it's one of my favorites. Yours came out even better... I like the horizontal likes a lot and the interesting pattern around the petals at is hits the water.

With the stripes it could almost be the national flag of an island nation. The shadows in this are interesting, painterly shadows & there is nice detail--I catch myself wondering what it would look like in BW.

Interesting effect in the water outlining the blossom.

Crisp image. Nice job of using the tension of the water to outline and enhance the image of the flower. The water in the flower on the back petal distracts a bit for me, but overall, a nice shot. 7
