Texture Pond Scum by Delany Dean applied to a photo taken in my garden a few weeks ago.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Wonderful use of the "pond scum" texture...it really works with this plant. It has the feeling of a watercolor or pastel. So lovely in all ways!

What an unfortunate name for such a beautiful effect! This is beautifully done - the photo and the processing! Just perfect!
