One more flower

[alfredo]

This was made using my old Industar 50-2 50mm 3.5 and extension tubes. It looks a bit green, but I like that.

1. :)

I like the tinge of green. Gives the flower depth, making the photo that much better.

2. Thanks. The flower behind made the image seem 3D

3. Good

If that's a daisy (white) then that is not "a tinge" or "a bit green", that is full blown shifted all the way over into Greenland.

6. It's a yellow flower. It was a cloudy and wet day and maybe my auto WB didn't get it right.

I lightened it a good bit, added a bit of saturation. That too could have brought out the green. Still I liked the results because in the end, I'm not a big fan of reality.

8. In the final analysis, if the artist is sufficiently satisfied with the results, it is done.

All photography involves various forms of editing, manipulation, selection, transformation. It is unavoidable even, or especially, with a pocket computer camera (the ones with phone apps) image that goes straight from camera app to publication (distribution in social media). So some added manipulation is the artist's choice.

10. I enjoy the process, and at times the results.

Gorgeous shot, alfredo!
