I haven't uploaded any photos in so long I felt left out.
We were shooting today in Ennis, Texas, home of the Texas Blue Bonnet Festival. I shot this one of a very nice "Paint Brush".

Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

All detail are in the decription.

Calvus....

Nice. Looking forward to my upcoming tutorials.

The first red 'paint brush' seems to strain my eyes somehow, it seems like it was over-sharpened a bit. Well, they all 3 do, but the pink 'Paint Brush' isn't as bad.

Nice colors though

I'd tend to agree about the first and second ones - they look like some subject movement or camera vibration was being addressed with a lot of sharpening - are the originals a bit soft ?

It could very well be movement I was on my knees trying to hand hold the shot with the 105mm macro lens. I did very little sharpening while processing the raw files in Photoshop.

I was also trying too shoot using the histgram and the were about -.5 -1 underexposed. I need to get the feel for it I guess.

I will try to re-process them again and see if they come out better.
I will be busy all week so not sure when I will get to re-process them.

Thanks for the comments :)

Oh yeah and I was dead tired at that time in the morning I was working on them :) We did not settle in until very late.
