abstract found in a garden

multiple exposures of some flowers found in our garden. [i should know what they are, but i don't. sigh] slightly overcast/diffused light. six straight exposures of a relatively uninteresting part, camera moving up. small image on the right is the third image in the sequence as an example. nikon D70 (iso200) with micro-nikkor 105mm f/2.8 D. all six images combined in photoshop as layers (lighten, 100% opacity) with minor color correction.

[addendum: something is wrong with the colors. i use prophoto rgb color profile for these images, and looks like firefox and gimp cannot render this profile properly; colors are much weaker than what they should be.]

[2005.06.20: once again dale stepped in and converted the image to srgb for me. what is now displayed is the image with the correct colors. thanks again dale.]
