Renaissance Festival 15 (2010)

This - the last of this year's Renaissance postings - was taken on our way out. To manipulate depth of field I stood some distance from the flowers and zoomed all the way in. Shutter priority was used because the background was darker, in addition to setting exposure compensation at -2/3 step. Most times I would begrudge a bright and sunny day for taking pictures, but in this case the shadows provided a contrast that enhanced the colors of the subject...
