I am going to start giving myself assignments that will improve my understanding and application of exposure levels in different light situations. I took advantage of the rainy weather and captured the intense color and detail of this rose with the help of an overcast sky shedding soft filtered light. I added a very slight contrast punch to darken the background, but other than that, i think this rose is perfectly exposed and the color is very true to it's natural state. I fired my flash with -2/3 flash comp. on the first image, the result being a tad bit brighter and warmer than the 2nd image.
