About the Image(s)

This is a lens baby image...so it was taken at ISO 800, 1/2000, but that's all the settings I can tell you about the camera itself. Aperture was at 4 on the Lensbaby, in order to get some "glow" but not too much. This was handheld and unfortunately, another windy day here, with bright sunshine. So my main goal was to hold onto my reflector while taking the shot. While the background was okay, I decided to add a softer background/vignette using one of my own bokeh textures. The main things I did were to do a little burning and dodging and, ultimately, cloning, to remove some very bright spots. You can see from the original that the changes were very subtle ones. I'm very open to suggestions for this.

I like the soft edges and your background more which is softer and lighter. Beautiful Dahlia photo!   Posted: 10/04/2026 17:47:50
