Topaz Studio “Glow”

The contrast between the glowing flower and dark leaves is really cool, Sandy. Was that your lighting or post processing?

A simple levels adjustment in post-processing to highlight the flower, and subdue the leaves.

Thanks, Sandy. I was just curious.

Very easy - try it - although it works best on flora, and that’s not your main focus (lol)

Sandy: Really well conceived and done. I might like the leaves just a touch less dark but your presentation is intriguing. >=))>

Well and thoughtfully processed, Sandy. Post processing gets to be a matter of personal taste and some subjectivity. This is tastefully done.
