Description

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! #6052435

Melissa- Good morning my friend. A blast of color that is so dazzling and beautiful. I love the astonishing looks the effects gave it. Everything is elevated to the next level. The lighting is outstanding. The picture post card clear. Colors are sensational. The details that define each petal with outstanding definition.
