I'm not sure what this is called. Shot with 20D, kits lens 1/800 @ f5.6 ISO 100. Comments appreciated.

Thanks,
Dennis

Thought I would add to the thread. 1/500 @ f5.6 ISO 100 Canon 20D with kit lens. Comments?

Thanks,
Dennis

Nice job Dennis. You might could have upped the exposure for a little more refined detail, try shooting in RAW for the easy ability of that after taking the shot.

Aren't the Red Dogwoods native to that area. I had one that flourished for 3 years in the South but suddenly got diseased and died.

Thanks Bluedog. I shoot a lot in RAW, but this was shot in jpeg. Shot is straight from the camera with no PS. I did play with levels and curves a bit which helps, but I thought I would post with no post processing. Thanks for your comment.

Yeah there a lot of dogwoods around this area and they seem to be real picky when transplanted. I lost one a few years ago that had been in the spot for about 5 years. There are 2 colors - white and pink/red.

Thanks,
Dennis
