photos to inspire

Another of my early Sony a350 shots, again with the Tamron 28-300 mm zoom, and at full 300mm stretch for some strange reason. Just a simple garden pink. Processing was in Aperture, Photoshop and Noise Ninja. I wanted to smooth the background, whilst applying a little sharpening to the petals – but not too much; I didn’t want to damage the softness of the bloom.
