I have a fascination with edge of flowers and macro work. The edge lines and curves are a part of the flower that can be overlooked if you are not looking closely .
All feed back welcome
Is this a composite: No
Single shot
Pentax k30 with 100mm macro
ISO 100
1.6 sec f8.0
small adjustment in L.R. for high lights and texture
Seems like an interesting way to photograph things. This image though…I don’t know. It doesn’t grab me. I like the curve and the light, but maybe it could use a little …
Hope you don’t mind. Curves adjustment, vibrance/saturation boost, brightness & contrast boost & a crop. YMMV.
Mike, I do love the lines and colors presented in this image. I also like what @Kris_Smith did, it feels like it improved the image with a nice boost to the brightness and color, giving it a bit of punch, as well as the crop, bringing more attention to just the subject. Your POV on the edge of this flower is a really neat perspective.
Thank you for your input and time. I would agree you have improved the image :))
Many thanks Shirley , always appreciate your input
