Thank you all for your wonderful comments and for faving this photo. Maybe you're like me -- sometimes I upload a photo and I'm sure it'll get lots of comments and faves, and then it doesn't and that's kinda disappointing. And then other times I'll upload a photo that I don't have high expectations for, and it ends up getting lots of comments and faves.

Your response to this photo is beyond all expectations. Amazing! Thanks again!

Awesome shot Matt.

I always wonder about such shots. How do you get the exposure right. I keep trying and trying but have never managed to get it right. Yours is just perfect. Is the secret in PS?

Matt McGee  Pro User  says:

opinionated indian -- thank you. :-) To answer your question, two steps: One, I typically shoot several versions of the same photo at different exposures, or maybe different flash levels when indoors, different shutter speeds, etc. So that gives me several to choose from. And then Two, yes, adjusting levels in PS gets it just right once you have the right photo selected. As I recall, with this one I had the sky just right in the camera. And then adjusting the levels a bit in PS got the main flower where it needed to be.

Hope that helps.
