Challenge: Free Study 2008-06 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Location: Victoria, British Columbia
Date: Jun 20, 2008
Aperture: f/1.8
ISO: 320
Shutter: 1/320 sec
Galleries: Floral, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Jun 20, 2008

 This was taken on a vacation to Victoria, British Columbia. This entire garden is just incredible.. This was part of the Japanese gardens. You could pretty much just point the camera in a random direction and take an amazing photo.

This is an HDR of two exposures.. Dodging, burning, levels, some cloning, UM, Save for Web.

I haven't entered a Free Study in a long time, and the last time I think I got a 4.3. Hopefully I'll get higher this time. :)

A busy image, but in a good way, I think. There is a lot to take in and absorb.
