passion flowers
From my Valentine’s bouquet, a shot of the most stunning blood-red roses I’ve ever seen. Using my 60mm macro lens (but NOT to go macro) resulted in this almost magical glowing soft-focus effect that I thought really did them justice. All done in natural light, and the ONLY edit to this shot was to clone out a small distraction in the lower left corner.
Maybe a good Valentine card for NEXT year?
