This is a Javanese bride posing on an incredible dragon staircase in Bali, Indonesia. I had the image for a few years, and it always bothered me that the top portion of the bridal attire was a strong yellow with a hint of green. It didn't match the colors of the environment. So, I used the magic wand tool to select just that area of color and, using the hue/saturation dialog box, moved the hue slider until I turned the yellow-green into cyan. The young woman is wearing a chest design of hand-woven live flowers that took three women an entire day to make. That's part of the traditional bridal dress. Her head piece is also composed of live flowers sewn into an attractive design. My settings were 1/8, f/8, and 4000 ISO. I had to use a high ISO to keep the shutter fairly fast to prevent her from being blurred. I took this with a 17mm focal length, and the camera was mounted on a tripod.
