Shades of Purple

by Kristi Hines on May 13, 2011 · California, Coronado


One of the things I love to shoot is flowers, specifically closeups of flowers. I wish I could say that it was crazy processing skills that made the flower come out this way, but this photo actually needed little editing. I really liked the hazy feel of it.

Flowers are always fun to shoot, aren’t they? It’s hard to resist them. Nice job with this one!

Love this image, and while crazy processing skills are a plus, it is much better to get it done right in camera, equals more time to shoot, and less time behind the computer.
