Paul, this is sharp and crisp with magnificant color. I don't know if you did any post manipulation but it's truly an exquisite floral shot. The lighting is super. anne
Anne, in answer to your question, the post manipulation in this photo is a histogram shift.
(moved the lower left corner of the histogram to right which, in effect, makes the dark parts even darker but leaves to rest of the photo unaltered).
Maybe you want to have try on your own photo's?
Thanks,
Paul
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
