Shot on my living room floor against a dark blanket. Did some dodging and burning in Photoshop. Scanned with a Minolta Scan Dual IV. Used a whole roll of Reala experimenting with flash techniques and background. Used two 5400HS's and a wireless module for flash.
Actually, those flowers were there, I just used Photoshop to burn them in and make them darker so the main three in-focus flowers would stand out. Looking back, I do kind of like the original picture better. I'll post it in a bit.
There are some interesting features. I am not sure if the lower flowers are PS made, a reflection or just the difference in lighting. I am so glad I went digital, experimenting is not as expensive as with having film costs. Regardless, keep experimenting! Nice work!
