Flowers Anyone?

What causes the odd color effects?

Stoney, Inadvertantly I overdevelop that sheet by a minute, the colours are certainly more saturated than reality, but the flower is a quirky combination of pink and purple.

This was developed correctly and is pretty well spot on to how it looks. There has been no editing.

Interesting that by over developing you color shifted it so much and actually looks dark, fascinating! And good to know if you ever want to do that on purpose. Cool, and thanks!

So to prevent confusion I should correct myself: the Developing time I listed for the first image as 5 min was actually 6 min, the second image was 5 min. The 5 min was of because the temperature of the solution was 30c not 38c.

Gotcha, so you both used a lower temp AND extended time, thanks for the correction.

This is great! How much of a crop?

Thanks for the compliment. It was cropped about the middle one third of each side. I didn't think the whole image would apply to this Flowers thread.

Excellent, David. The flower looks great nestled in among the cactus patterns.
