Great concept and execution, Kaushik!
I was actually thing a slight CCW rotation would be the way to go. Whatever you do, consider cloning or cropping out the yellow in the ULC. The whites seem a but muddy so maybe a curves or levels adjustment could brightening them up.
What a wonderful idea! Using two images to capture this worked well. I like the simplicity of only two colors. I think the yellow of the center of the flower, and the whites, would benefit from brightening up. Nicely done!
Kaushik, great advice given here! You managed to make a beautiful image by thinking ahead and planning out the results. One other very minor detail - there's a small area inside the water drop that is rather brownish - you might see if you could colorize or lighten that area so the entire droplet held the same tones/color. Lovely and cheerful image!
This is very nice, I like your creativity here. I wonder about the dof on the flower. I know you are emphasizing the droplet but I wonder if more dof on the flower would work. the oof seems to take the image over a bit. But wow, what a great idea and imagine the possibilities!
Hey Kaushik,
Great idea and well executed! I would paly with the brightness balance....as presented seems a bit too bright on the drop....or as others mentioned too dark on the rest......so tweaking that should really make this one shine!
