Hibiscus

Here's a shot from my neighbor's garden back in November.

This was shot in bright sunlight under a scrim with a Canon 500D close-up lens on a 24-105mm f/4 IS USM lens set at 105mm, f/4, ISO 400 and underexposed by 2/3 stop at 1/125 sec.

Post processing in CS4 included some darkening and motion blur on the background, high pass sharpening on the foreground, and selective hue/saturation adjustments to pop the yellow a bit in the foreground.
