One of the spring flowers I like is the small, cololurful Dutch Iris. This is from a group of these Iris and for some reason (preoccupation on my part with other things) was forgotten until it had not just finished its flowering, but had dried out as well. Strangely, the dried, shriveled flower retained much of its colour. I picked it, took it indoors, clamped it in place with a large window on the left and placed a white reflector on the right. In this small version, some of the small detail is hard to make out, although you may see some of the spider web filaments that cling to the flower, for example. I just got around to processing it and like the results. - JW

This image was made 2 images taken using a hand-held Nikon D5000 fitted with a Nikkor 55-200 VR lense set to 160mm, ISO400, Aperture priority, f/11.0, 2 shots, one at 1/2 sec and one darker by a manually adjusted EV-1. The 2 images were not intended originally to be HDR processed by regardless, I used Luminance/Qtpfsgui with the 2 images, aligned them and obtained an HDR using the settings embedded in the file name, below. PP in GIMP: adjust the tone curve to darken the image , desaturate a slightly unpleasant orange cast in the bright area lower right, sharpen, add border and scale to 1024 wide for posting.
