My May Apple
This is one of the shots I took this morning at my new local hangout. The May Apples are blooming here too, and today was my first attempt at capturing them in bloom.

Canon 10D, 75-300 @ 300 mm, 2x tele, ISO 800, 1/4 sec @ f/11
Selective color, levels, sharpen

Nice job on this one, Wayne. I had such a hard time focusing on the center section above the apple in the difuse light I was working under - but you've done the job of showing the details of that area very nicely. I might clone out the spider web! Thanks for posting!

I like it Wayne! Wonderful light, and nice detail and texture in the bloom. And I really like the BG you've chosen here.

Thanks for sharing!

Wayne, The BG is an excellent compliment to the bloom. I agree about the spider web. A mild distraction. I really like how the petals frame the pistils. Excellent light. Way to go!

Thanks for posting. :smile:
