This was taken yesterday indoors and was processed as a psudo HDR image. This process heightens the colors already in the image but not visible, opens up the dark areas and gives the entire image a dynamic look.
Entered in Flowers.

Very beautiful floral, Melissa! I think sometimes HDR processing doesn't work with flowers (or maybe it's just done incorrectly) but you did an outstanding job with this. It doesn't look at all like it was photographed indoors--the lighting is gorgeous! #6052435Margaret R. Barry June 12, 2008
