Brighten Up Your Day
I spotted this brightly colored blossom from accross an eight lane street in Bejing a couple months ago... I had to walk about a mile and a half, to a walk-over foot bridge just to get a closer view...

This is what I found...

Nikon D200 & Sigma 150mm macro lens, at f22, ISO = 400...

Any Comments?? I have a few reservations..., and would like to know if others feel as I do...

Thanks!!

Looks a bit over exposed? Cool flower. Chrysanthrymum?

:smile: Ahhh, do you realise what forum you are in David :wink: Besides that, try levels or a bit of brightness subtraction and saturation. :toast:

Could you tell us what post-processing you did, if any?

I'd say more contrast is needed.
