So here it is: my first Photoshop edit! It took me a while to master and all PP comments are still very welcome (hence the detailed PP specs)!:)
This is a common grassland plant in The Netherlands, Prunella vulgaris (Common selfheal). I was actually photographing dragonflies along a small stream, but they were too active and wouldn't land for a pose because of the high temperatures. When the sun was blocked by a large cloud, the wonderful light on this plant caught my eye. Unfortunately I had to shoot full open because there was very little light. As a result, I don't have the DOF I was hoping for, especially on the center flower.
Panasonic DMC-FZ18 @ 18mm (108 mm equivalent) with Suntec 4+ closeup lens, handheld.
ISO-100, F3.6, 1/80 sec. pattern metering, EC -0.3
PP in ACR 5.0. adjustments on WB, exposure, recovery. Added clarity, vibrance and saturation. Sharpening amount 58, radius 1.0, detail 48 and masking 52. ACR NR. Full chromatic aberration correction. Used the adjustment brush to add extra sharpness to the OOF central flower. Cropped slightly for composition.
