Canon 1D Mark III, 85mm F/1.2, F3.2, 1/250, iso 100
For today I just wanted something light and fun. Obviously its from the garden I refer to as Shangri-La. I was drawn to this vase because of its intricacy and the overall setting.
You know that recently I showed a couple of images and mentioned that there was no post processing. Well, this is an image that demonstrates the opposite. There's about 15-20 minutes of photoshopping on this guy.
For starters, I cropped it. No biggie. But I also darkened the foliage area, using several tools, and lightened the vase. There was a garbage can in the shot. Cloned that out. Darkened those tree trunks. I sharpened just the vase to really make it stand out.
Like I said, a nice easy and pleasing image, well, thanks to Photoshop!
