The second photo of surprise lilies taken in response to Kathy's @myhrhelper get pushed challenge to make an image with a soft, airy, happy, sweet, light feel." I did use the techniques as far as setting and processing that she suggested, but I think I have a ways to go yet. Photo #1 is on yesterday's date: http://365project.org/mcsiegle/365/2013-08-05
@myhrhelper Here's the second shot for your get pushed challenge. Although I think it's better composed than the other I posted, I also think it is further from what you are looking for, and I need to go further with settings and processing. Suggestions?
Mary this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for - it is perfect!!! WOW very well done. It looks very soft, light airy - it is actually more of a high key feel which I like. I think the composition looks very nice here too. I think if I were to do anything else to it I would (in post processing) blur the background a little more.
Looks lovely! Lillies are one of my all time favourite flowers. I just discovered some lilly buds in my garden that have been chewed, no chance of them making it to nice flowers like yours ;-(
