Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted January 22, 201144 views2 comments
This is a macro I took of some simple petunias blooming on a cloudy afternoon. The soft lighting gave the blooms a lovely impressionistic effect which I highlighted and emphasized.

Eve:
The blooms are very pretty and the slight vignette helps the image. I am not sure how you processed the image but would like to suggest toning the highlight down slightly and brightening the center of the flowers. Like to see a little more contrast too.

Hey Eve, impressionistic is what I thought when I opened the image, nice moody lighting.
