Floral 2

I took this close up of a rose outside a restaurant in Cape May. There's something about rose petals that really draw me in- they're so soft and creamy.

We are having a lot of fun with Lucy, but I am falling behind with my commenting. Thanks for understanding my absence for a few days.
Beautiful!

Wonderful capture and frame filler. You are so right about rose petals, I too am fascinated by them.

Don't worry about us Ann, we'll be here when you get back. Enjoy your time with Lucy

Love it. Whenever I am in the rose garden, I tell myself that I will not take pictures. And after a while I take out my camera and shoot in love.

Thank you to one and all! We are having a blast with Lucy and treasure every moment!

@swchappell We were in Cape May mid-June celebrating our anniversary so this isn't recent as far as being taken, just in editing.

@grammyn @randystreat I've been playing around with a technique where I highlight edges by sharpening them. It worked really nice on this shot as the edge of many of the petals had captured the sunlight.

@haskar That is a beautiful description.

Will try to keep that technique in mind. Thanks for sharing.

@olivetreeann Is that a manual techniques or some thing that the computer can do for you? It worked very well with this photo
July 14th, 2021  
@randystreat @grammyn Yes, I do it manually not through an effect. I sharpen once using an overall sharpening effect on the entire picture and then do a second sharpening using "the brush" to sharpen just the spots I want to emphasize. In the case of this picture it was on the edge of every petal.

@olivetreeann thanks for that “tutorial“ !

@grammyn @olivetreeann I believe you are doing this in post processing rather than in-camera if I'm reading this correctly.
July 16th, 2021  
@grammyn You're welcome- any time!

@randystreat Yes- I use a program called Smart Photo Editor, but you could do this in any program.
