Wild Columbine # 2
Shot last evening out at the park, might be a bit noisy, just wondering what your thoughts were.

Thanks :wavey:

BTW it was shot at iso 100, but also at ev -1.3 and when I converted the raw file I added about 3/4 stop of light hence the noise.

That flower wants to jump off the page! It's great with all the rain drops.. Makes it pop a lot.. Nice, Bernie, I think the slight noise helps the effect.. :cool:

Another beautiful shot, Bernie! Really nice saturation and detail. The drop at the end of the petal adds a lot to this. I prefer the drama of the comp in your earlier post, but this works for me as well.

I like it. I like the natural background. Noise is not a problem when everything else looks that great.

Very beautiful. I'd personally consider selectively brightening the flower a bit more, but I don't know if the noise would be to problematic.
