I normally like more 'natural' looking subjects, but I was 'playing' in Photoshop, and once I came up with this,
the original looked a bit bland! Or maybe its just my mood today! ;-) The original is posted in my PaD Extras Gallery!

Beautiful...This version really pops!

Seems like the same results could have been gotten on film with a change in exposure. I don't think this is 'overshopped' at all. Nicely done.

Stunning !

I prefer the background of this one, it makes the flower stand out more, but prefer the actual flower colour in the original which looks brighter and has more detail. Nice shot either way though!

Beautiful colors, great macro. Perfect.

What a pop! This one jumps out of my screen. Nice touch. Great light. Wonderful detail as usual. SWEET!

Oh, this one wins hands down easily :-)

Beautiful work. I like this one with it's darker background and more intense color.

Beautiful striking deep purple striking colour.. and the other one is nice too that you can see the dof.. :o) great PS.. :o)

Hi Mindy, Nice work in PS. My preference is for this one. The original is pretty, but the contrast in the Photoshopped one to me is more satisfying.

This is gorgeous. My wife loves gerber daisies. I have a pic of some red ones from this month, but they're a little wilted. Great work in PS.

I love your "natural" look but the dark background makes the colors of this flowers more vibrant and beautiful!! (V)

Love the capture. I regret selling this lens. Will need to buy it back one of these days.

The detail in the center of this flower is so interesting.

Excellent!

The color is awesome Mindy, I like the dark background it really makes the flower stand out.
Robin Reid21-Sep-2005 23:45
I like your "upgrade" a great deal. The bright colors yell out that Autumn is here, time to put away those white clothes and enjoy the fall beauty.
Di21-Sep-2005 23:23
The purple just pops! Such incredible detail, too. Very well done!
Linda Willets21-Sep-2005 23:04
