This is a HDR image. I don't usually like HDR on flowers, but in this case I like the effect.

I have to agree, Leslie! HDR really lends a three-dimensional effect to these cactus flowers. The detail is exquisite and the lighting is fabulous - they truly glow! Wonderful work! #10264282Carolyn J. Connolly August 06, 2012
