Challenge: Macro V (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: At home, Reykjavik
Date: Jul 3, 2005
Aperture: 8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Macro, Floral
Date Uploaded: Jul 3, 2005

 Lit with a Mr-14x and sunlight from the window. Was originally taken in landscape but I thought it looked better this way so I rotated it 90 degrees clockwise. Cropped it slightly, used curves to increase contrast a little bit and sharpened. Had a couple of dust spots so I used the healing brush to get rid of them.

Oh, another thing... This is pretty gruesome but the fly was actually dead, I found it in the window and decided to use it but I handled it pretty clumsily so a couple of legs fell off, hope no one will notice.

while there are lots of flys in the challenge, and lots of flowers, this one has very strong elements of both. lovely colors and focus and very nice composition.
