Wildflowers

Wildflowers
Wantage, NJ
Canon EOS 40D | EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 (@10mm) | 1/100 @ f/13 ISO 100

Passed by these roadside flowers on the way to the A&P, then stopped to shoot them on the return trip. Using the EF-S 10-22mm wide open and shooting nearly straight down, I was able to get an interesting perspective with the surrounding tall grass spreading out radially from the central subject. In Aperture I cropped square, then desaturated the greens and yellows while enhancing the blues and reds, went heavy on the Vignette, then tweaked the highlights and shadows until I got the effect I was looking for.

I love this lens...!
