Took some photos of roses yesterday. It started out as an exercise to further try out my Sigma macro lens but in the end I spent most of my time brushing up my &quot;photoshop&quot; skills as I tried out &quot;selective color&quot; technique. I know, I know: the subject is corny and used and whatnot especially when talking about selective color photos. But I just had to do it.

The relatively narrow depth of field (at f/9.0) proved to be somewhat problematic when &quot;brushing out&quot; the color because e.g. on the edges the color of the petals blended with the color of the leaves. Anyways I'm looking forward to utilizing this technique on other images as well.

And the timing for this kind of photoshoot turned out to be great:

Happy Mother's Day everyone! :D
