            Compositionally Challenged Week 23 - High Key
I got brave and took my 60mm macro to the Botanic Gardens today.  The forecast was mostly cloudy which I thought would be great for high key flowers.  Too bad I forgot to check the wind forecast.  It was quite windy, the wrong day for macro, lol!  This one didn't get the focus point right but I still like the soft high key look. I didn't need to do much in post other than crop, add a little white vignetting, and adjust the highlights and blacks just a smidge. 

Denver Botanic Gardens did get a lot of damage from last week's hail storm.  The roof panels on the greenhouses were shredded, but the plants in the gardens were not damaged too badly.  Everything is in bloom right now so I'm heading back on Friday with the macro in hand. Hope it's not windy!  : )
