This picture didn’t need a lot of editing. I mainly just brought the exposure up and then adjusted the contrast and vibrancy so the colors weren’t as dull. For the final, I played around more with the shadows and tried to make the buds on the flower a little lighter.

I was low when taking, almost the same height as the glasses. I was fairly close to them and used a hight f stop and a low shutterspeed.
