Congratulations on your finalist, Bunny. The droplets really add sparkle to this beautiful floral. #9405608Bunny Snow June 01, 2011
Thank you, Nikki. I took this for two classes, but one instructor wanted it taken without a flash because he said one can always tell when a flash is used.I find that a flash makes the colors sparkle, something I learned a long time ago. This flash did reflect in the droplets of dew and created a repeat in every droplet. Perhaps, I should have bounced the light onto white foam core to light the flower. #9439525
