Shot this while looking for Zen-like images but decided it wasn't sufficiently "silent" for that challenge. A weed (chicory) by the side of the road where I walk my dogs every day. The little fly was a bonus.
Had the 20mm extension tube on.
PP - converted from RAW, slight crop, shifted greens greener, dodged/burnt bug and inside of flower a wee bit, reduced noise, increased contrast, burnt a little around dead flower head, cloned out bright spot, 2nd layer (dodged inside of flower and bug, merged in multiply mode), resized, sharpened, added border, hand sharpened bug and flower innards a bit more. |
