Flower head

[Jonathan Ashton]

Tripod Canon 1DX Canon 180mm macro light box twin flash ISO 100 1/125 sec f16. I applied a luminosity mask to the highlights to bring out a little more detail in the petals, other than that it is a straight shot, slightly cropped and sharpened for web.
I was just messing about photographing a moth pupa, hopefully I will get the image as the moth emerges this week. Whilst I had the set up out I thought I would do some focus stacking, fully intending to stack this one but to my surprise I don't think it needs it - (WDYT?) I haven't a clue what it is other than something that reseeds itself each year in the garden.
All comments welcome.

What a beautiful subject, nicely done!

Elegant!! I though it was a stack. Gorgeous detail in the whites. I like the slight discoloring in some of the petals -- adds an element of reality.

Like the frame, POV and subject. Well processed white petals and I like the details of the flower too. As John already noted this is Love in mist but I have never seen this plant with white petals. So you did a great job with unique plant and great shot. TFS.

Cheers,
Miro

Thanks everyone, glad you liked it.

You PP treatment worked wonders on the details on petals and flower centre! Wonderfully done. Personally I don't mind that some of the green stalks are OOF. No need for stacking.
