I made this image in Red Butte Garden last weekend.
Nikon D500, Sigma 150 f/2.8 Macro Lens
1/250 sec; f/16; ISO 640
Manual; Matrix metering
I made one mistake while taking this image. Diffuser was used to soften the light. I used a reflector ( Golden ) to reflect light which was a mistake in my opinion, I should have used silver reflector. I had lots of Yellow cast which I had to correct in post processing.
Let me know what you think about this image.
Post Processing:-
===================
Raw Processing using C1P
No Cropping
Nik 30-30 Filter at reduced opacity
Neat Image NR
Sharpening for Presentation
Burn and Dodge selectively
I was tempted to pluck out the petal on the left side, but decided not to do it. I did not change anything in post processing as well.
Thanks
