Challenge: Flowers in Garden & Field (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: State College, PA
Date: May 12, 2011
Aperture: F/6.3
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60 sec.
Date Uploaded: May 17, 2011

 It was about 1:00 PM when the picture was taken. The camera was on a tripod and I held a 4 foot difuser above the flowers as close as possible without getting it into the frame. Auto focus was on the whole read tulip. Very little done in post processing.

I may be wrong, but I think that it looks a little OOF because there is so little detail to show in the flower. I picked this shot because it almost looked like a water color painting to me.

you have a very lovely picture here...it seems to ME...that a bit more sharpening could go along way here. It seems that one tulip in the front could really pop...

This seems just a TOUCH fuzzy to me. It's an incredible image with the different colored flowers, and the flowers are gorgeous, but it's just a bit out of focus.

Lovely focus, it looks like an impressionist painting.
