    Default Flower head

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    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.

    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

    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.
