Description
While backing up my recent photography files to my external hard drive, I noticed I've got pictures going back ten years. Every once in a while I look at some old stuff, hoping something will jump out at me as workable when it never did before. Technology and software upgrades, as well as years of experience, means there just might be gems hidden away in those old files!
This image was in a file from July, 2007. It was taken with my first camera when I was just starting out, but I did the postwork on it this evening.

I'm not sure what you did here but it really worked. Fantastic rainbow effect.
It perfect T awesome shot!!
Amazing capture Tara. God bless.
Beautiful capture! The colors are so delicate. Hollyhocks are such an old fashioned flower. I don't believe I've seen them in this color before.
I love these flowers, very good work Auntie, show what talent you had at the start has followed on. Hugs for all day. DiDi. xx
Fine floral capture with wonderful light.
Great lighting and work on the picture.
very beautiful flowers. they seems so delicate
I've never seen a holly hock flower before this - this is wonderful
Pure joy!
The word "crinolines" comes to mind. Love the soft textures, pale, delightful colors, and your special postwork. We need to revisit old files more often.
It seems to glow with its own light - a truly wonderful find, and splendid postwork, Tara!
I just finished a year + long project of scanning all my negatives from my film days. Now, I'm doing Jolene's - and I'm finding plenty of gems. You'll probably see some of them after I retire, and have time to organize them all in Lightroom.
lovely glow, I really like it, nice flowers as well
Gorgeous image!
you went with the weaknesses of the old camera and turned it into a soft burst of a piece, where the centers of the flowers are like cosmic energy-bursts. And the softness on the petals don't obscure: They make everything creamy and rich. A beautiful transformation of an old photo. Some of my recent uploads are from my oldest camera too---Helle's 2 MP Nikon---which I postworked. Beautiful work.
