Pink camellia - Things are beginning to change quickly as springtime come to Alabama. In the coming weeks, my images will likely be heavily weighted with outdoor shots. Today’s photograph was taken just a few feet outside my front door. The blooms don’t last very long and they begin to turn brown quickly after they are fully open so there is a narrow window for capturing one of the flowers in full bloom.

There is a little post processing on this shot to get the texture and tone I wanted. I am claiming creative license for my image. Each shot comes with its own set of options and choices and each person might go a different direction. But this is my gallery so we get to play by my rules.

Comments and suggestions welcome and encouraged.
