Chrysanthemums
This was a lot more physically challenging than I'd imagined. I thought "buy some flowers, put a water drop on the fish tank, bounce the flash in from the side to minimize reflections... yeah, I'll kick out about a hundred of these."
Wrong.
I took about 40 shots, and this is the only one you're going to see. I'm gonna have to buy a lot prettier flower than these before I do this again.
Oh, aside from standard shadow/contrast adjustments, and a slight crop, no post processing on this... that painted look comes from the original bokeh and the contrast/shadow adjustments I did to reduce reflections/highlights from where I didn't rinse the soap off the glass well enough. The black is from a sheet of poster board I had laying around. Probably the same one I've been using for a while.
And, I don't say this a lot about my stuff, or anyone's really, but I believe I'd hang something like this on the wall.
