Glowing Red

This experiment on multi-exposure took me hours.

A total of 6 exposures were taken in a single image file.
The first five shoots are in focus and the last one is out of focus.

The out-of-focus shoot makes the edges look soft and produces glowing effects,
while the in-focus shoots maintain the details of the flower.

A homemade soft box produced back light from the left.
A silver reflector at the right front brought about the texture of the flower.

You're getting so proficient in your light setup, Kwan.
I love the glow effect around the periphery of the petal.

Is there any problems in my eyes ? Is my glasses not fit me any more ? I rubbed it several times to make me look it clear. How you could make it happen ? Wow ! Actually, you already told us that you applied special skills (out-of-focus shooting) to produce it. It made me understood that there is no strict rules to make thing. Mixing the best and the worst could produce a wonderful effect. Keep on ! Kwan.
