Ode to Georgia Okeefe

I shot this delicate flower in Whistler, British Columbia at my brother and girlfriends home. I shot this with a difuser and a Canon G9, in manual focus and macro mode. I couldn't help but notice this was turning into a Georgia Okeefe type photo, so I used the petal length to build length into the image and bring the eye into the center of this star burst of color...

I used an Intuos 4 pad and CS3 to feather and soften the highlites. A tribute to Georgia Okeefe incredible colors!
