Well I bought some flowers for a birthday gift and ended up taking pictures of them. This was taken with my 420ex w/ index card. Manual exposure. ISO 100, 1/125sec, f/8.0.

In PS i dropped the levels to get rid of a muddy brown background, and i got some nice shadows.

Is that a caterpillar in there?

I thought that was only a leave.....anyway it's a little distracting, but I love the color. The flower really stands out......... thanks to the black background. It's a nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

Nah, I don't think that's a caterpillar. I took the flower out of a vase. Thanks for the nice comments.
