Minimalistic Approach

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image at Traverse Mountains, UT, Lehi


I went for simple minimalistic look. I could not get quite parallel to the flower as there was dark iron object which did not look well.

Nikon D850, Sigma 150mm Macro lens
ISO 800, f/3.3, 1/320 sec
Manual Mode, Matrix Metering
Shot Handheld.


Post processing:- Removed some leave on bottom Left.
Raw Processing C1P, Nik Filter, No Noise Reduction
Sharpening Affinity Photo.


Hope you like it.

Thanks
Krishna

Krishna this is just beautiful, the Nik filters can easily overcook the image but whatever you have done works well according to my eye. I am amazed at the result at f3.3, I am guessing you have cropped the image?
You seem to have reservation over the angle from which taken but again it looks good to me.

Thank you for the comment. This is un-cropped Image. I agree we could easily over do Nik Filters. I reduce the opacity of the nik filter using masking and painting selectively blacks.

The flower looks pretty much in focus. The high key look works well. Nice detail on the flower.
