Sunburst

Description

OK, OK, it's not true macro. To get this shot I stacked Hoya +1, +2 and +4 close up filters and switched my lense onto manual focus. It enabled me to have an off-centre area of focus without the lense hunting for something to focus on. Unfortunately the downside is that my eye isn't as keen as the sensor's so the area of focus isn't particularly sharp. I had to use an unsharp mask and boost colour and contrast in order to bring the daffodil's cup out a bit more.

Anyway, I called the picture Sunburst because that's what it reminds me of. I hope you all like the photo - it's more about the colour than the subject matter.
