Photography...

Several years ago I took some photos for her Mothers day gift.  It was essentially a single photo of a red rose that I then toned Black & White and Sepia.  I then took the three photos and put them into a 3 position frame.  Ever since then she's wanted me to blow up that image and put it in a frame above our bed. Fast forward to Christmas 2008.  I finally bought her the frame, but the photo wasn't going to enlarge very well, so I had to take a completely different set of them. I borrowed my sisters camera to take some photos that my wife wanted me to take.  I took several of them, and didn't really like any of them.  For one of them I turned off the flash and when I saw the preview on the camera is was really dark and I almost deleted it. I took several more shots and then uploaded all of them to my computer.  In reviewing them I ignored the dark one and we selected one that we were going to print.  It wasn't great, but it was good enough. Then I opened the really dark one thinking that I would just see up close how it turned out.  With a couple of small tweaks we ended up using it.  What do you think?  (The image below links to the full size version)
