Title: Cherry Blossoms
Post by: Bob_B on April 19, 2015, 06:11:19 pm: The weather warmed up this week, which resulted in my higan weeping cherry erupting in its spring blossoms. I couldn't resist spending some time photographing the flowers, and hope you enjoy this one. C&C welcomed. Thanks for taking a look.

Kade: Canon 50mm f1.8 (nifty fifty) and Canon 7D.

Thanks francois. I hadn't noticed those, but I did see an unwanted black fringe at the top of the upper petal of the central flower (and a few other ones). They're on the raw file, so I assume they're camera artefacts. I'll remove them in PS in the near future.

I saw that too but I'm wondering if the artefacts I mentioned are not cause by synchronizing spot removal from another shot.

Post by: Bob_B on April 21, 2015, 08:58:24 am: I didn't use spot removal on this one and didn't sync it to any others. So, I don't have a good idea of where they came from.
