Hi John: The flower shots are not illuminated with flash; in fact, for that shot I dialed in -2 EV. The light is coming from a Michigan Ave storefront. During processing in Lightroom, I set the exposure setting to + .30 for a little pop, but that's it. Funny story about reading the last line and thanks for the caption idea! Hope you had a good nap! Cheers, Christine
