This is my introductory photo. I took this photograph and edited them a little bit with photoshop and iphoto during photography class. I chose this photo because of the flower. It is a symbol of life. The photo represents beauty and love.

All I did to this photo was blur the background a little and crop some of it.  I love how it is starting to blossom and the powerful feeling it has. I think having more of the flower and not as much stem would have helped a lot, now that I am observing it. I took this photo because I really liked how it stands there. The shutter speed was 1/350, the aperture was 3.6, and the ISO speed was 140.
