Overall I agree with most of comments posted. Though I am very new to photoshop and not very proficient at the present time. I have had very little luck with fixing something overexposed. Once that detail is blown out whether it be in the highlights or shadows, pretty much it is gone unless you are very handy in photo editing and manipulating and can actually add the detail. However, as the general consensus has been with this photo.....I like it and the The blown out areas do not bother me much. What mainly grabbed my attention is the nice color and great angle.

I love the colors that you captured here! The flowers seem so proud. Although I have a hard time seeing any flaws, one thing that I've just learned from a friend, and had a little success with is multiplying layers. In PS select duplicate layer, then in the layer palette select multiply layers. You'll probably want to decrease the opacity of the duplicate layer to below 50%.

Thanks for the crop ideas! I was thinking about the Becky/Russ crop as well, but it did seem somewhat blunt... and for your other crop, Becky, it's neat, but feels incomplete. But thanks for the ideas!
I will keep the weed wacker handy!!!

This is getting funny! Maybe we should just use a weed whacker instead of Photoshop!

I didn't see Russ' crop until I posted mine - his is much better, sorry.
I was a little more creative on the second one. Not sure if I like it . . . .

Oh sure, bring up painful memories, see if I care. *BWG* I tried two different crops. I like to dub this one "the brutal crop."

Here's the crop I had in mind yesterday, but it didn't upload correctly for some reason. Besides the fact that it wipes out most of the image, the all-white stem suddenly becomes very noticeable. More Photoshoppery to fix that? I dunno.

Thanks Amie, Becky, Russ and Vincent... for the comments, the suggestions and the info on toning down images in PS. Becky, I should have asked you first, as you mentioned you had 14 rolls of overexposed stuff!! *grin*
I've tried cropping the flower on the left out (the half a flower, I should say) but you lose all the stuff at the bottom and it leaves the left part of teh frame feeling very empty. If anyone can come up with a good crop, I would appreciate an attachment!

The main flower is fine here. So what if one of the background flowers is a little bright. I actually think that it adds some nice contrast to a very nice shot. Love that sky!!

Hi Kim,
I agree with Becky ... I've also found that it's next to impossible to save parts of an image that are overexposed. Once they are blown out to the point where all the pixels have the same value, the visual information in the original scene is simply lost, and no amount of Photoshoppery is going to recover it. I guess that's why so many people advocate bracketing your exposures.
On the bright side, though, I also agree with Becky that the flower in the lower-right is the only really offensive one here. Perhaps the best trick at this point is to just apply a little photocroppery?!?

Toning down hot areas is really tricky. It's kind of like trying to tone down hot audio - you can make it quieter, but it will always sound a bit distorted. Other than playing with the levels, brightness and contrast (with just the areas you want manipulated selected, or on a separate layer so you don't affect the whole photo) I don't know what else to suggest.
The only problematic flower I see is the one in the bottom right corner. The rest really aren't that bad. I love the composition of the flowers on the right, but I'm not too keen about the flower on the left which is half cut off. Awesome sky backdrop - perfect colour and just enough cloud to make it interesting. It looks kind of surreal!

Personally, I think it's great. I don't think it needs towing down, but hey what do I know? :)
