Happy Birthday Me (Flowers from Husband, Lens came a few days later)

So I have lots of questions about my new lens Tamron 24-70 2.8 (older gen) and such, but this is a bad shot edited a bunch to pull out the detail. I just liked the color. Forgot I had the camera set in jpeg mode (to save battery--and btw, my Canon battery is draining FAST these days--is that normal?).

But I have a new lens! We'll see what I come up with. I really want to start doing portraits and sessions with people (high school grads maybe?).

Anyone out there buy presets for LR5? I've never done it and I spend so many hours editing. Let me know your favs if you visit this shot .
gorgeous flowers, colors and especially the light ... Happy Birthday, Daryl!
I haven't bought presets but think about it more and more.

@lynnz You are a pro. I am just getting tired of doing all the same things. Of course, I could learn to save what I'm doing right? haha

Oh, yes, these flowers say, "Happy Birthday!" Best wishes!

@darylo -- And this year I'm off to Japan and Poland instead of Atlanta. Looking forward to our next visit together!

@jyokota Pack me up. I'm ready to get outta here! :) Kira got into Ga. Tech! Woohoo! Still have others to hear from, but this is a place she loves.

@jgpittenger Thank you Jane. I am proud. It's EXHAUSTING this process! She's writing scholarship essays now and she has one more interview for another school that she thought didn't "do interviews." Too much stress. At least she's got a fantastic school in the pocket! Too bad it's in GA. She'd really love to go to Boston or NY area

@darylo -- Congrats to Kira!!! That's GREAT news!
