Candid shots never received complaints at the time but would frequently receive them afterwards even if I worked herculean efforts in color, tone, and lighting restoration. There is nothing quite like working with people to get an understanding of how light plays off of skin and different skin tones, particularly how each channel (red, green, and blue) interact differently. I have found this of significant value manually converting to black and white in Photoshop. That said, I had no control over lighting and little over composition and my learning curve was slow. In retrospect I see the value that composing and shooting stills like flowers would have brought, and undoubtedly will still bring, to my development as a photographer. Thanks.

I went on a nature hike with my dad this Sunday am with a group from the Kitty Hawk Coastal Reserve and went nutso with the flowers & leaves & fungi & trees. That'll probably be part of my next post. When I get to it. Regarding your title – I looked up the reference, and, I must say, she needs some flowers.
