There was something in the air this morning, when I went out back to check on the garden. The sun hadn't poked over the horizon, so the light still had a blue cast. And in this light, the yellow flowers in our back garden really popped, but in an eerie way. Very fitting to start Halloween. (Plus, I thought that they looked like candles on a birthday cake...quite appropriate!)

Mystical Halloween...

John, what kinds of efforts did you use on the photo post-shoot? this cannot be what original exposure. if so, you are a great painter from Giverny!
Well, first off...an artist shouldn't peel away TOO much of the magic. :) But I will say this. I did not manipulate this photo other than to do some minor color balance tweaking. The colors and fuzzy edges are a natural artifact of the light (early morning blue) and the lense (purposefully low-grade).
So the honest answer is this is pretty much the original exposure.
