September #One Four Challenge – Week 3 – Gardenia

Misty White 2015©photography by Isadora DeLaVega

FujiFilm FinePix Camera S4250WM
ISO 64 4mm f/3.1 1/10

In this 3rd week of the challenge, I took the original photo :

I highlighted the gardenia to draw the eye to the center.

I brought the shadow up to 100%.

I cropped the gardenia closer to have it fill the entire frame

and create a macro effect.

I signed it and posted.

Enjoy …

  Hello Ida,
  I’m glad you like the highlight on this edit. The gardenia is so pretty in the original
  I didn’t think I could improve it. Odd, how one can. Thank you.
  Isadora
  p.s. I commented on your beautiful deer photo. It stated when I clicked on post that it was
  going to post my comment on google. I thought that was strange. Can you check there? If
  it isn’t there I’ll try again. 😎

I can’t wait for next week. I can’t choose a favorite. I might have to pick them all as favorites. 😀

  Gardenias do have the most beautiful scent. I used to have a gardenia bush in front of my living room window in my previous house. The scent came in through the window when it was in bloom. I’m happy you hthought they were beautiful.
