1. Edited Purple Flower: see previous post for image details
2. Edited Rose Bud: see previous post for image details

For my edits to shot 1, I first used the Super Sharpening tutorial in our Custom Images books to define the edges the flowers. I put the Amount of the Unsharpen filter at 200, the Radius at 4 and the Threshold at 0. I masked out the effect one the leaves and background to add contrast. Then I added a double fade border.

For shot 2, I added levels and saturation adjustment layers to increase the colors of the rose bud. Then I added a burned border with two copies of the image and the multiply blending mode.

My family had tickets to the Idaho Falls fireworks this week, and I hoped to get some great fireworks shots, but my camera is just not that great. I took some macro shots of flowers earlier, though, which turned out all right, so I decided to post them.

The lighting wasn't fantastic the afternoon I took these, but I made some adjustments and added borders. Check out the next post for my edits.
