Something different

I'm not a flower photographer. Flowers, as subjects, just don't interest
me that much. I do see other people's flower shots that are very well
done, but it's not my thing.

But, I was stretched out on my stomach shooting an old building from
a very low perspective and there's this flower or weed or whatever it
is right in front of me. So I shot it back in 2010.

Going through some old images and deleting some should-have-never-kept
shots and found this and played around in post.

    Great flower shots are joyous.....I struggle with getting any good ones....
    You got a good one.....my personal view is that processing is too harsh......flowers are delicate things.....they work well with softness......tenderness....
    Cheers Tony!

    Like Taz, I like the shot but feel the processing is a little heavy-handed.

    PS - I LOVE photographing flowers - I always find they pose so nicely for me (except when the wind blows!)

    Cheers, Sara

    Maybe I do have a heavy hand at post-processing. I tend to make shots that
    I'm not excited about too dramatic. I shouldn't try to improve on Mother
    Nature.

    I do appreciate the comments. Not all comments on photographs here need
    be flattering. Some shots just don't work that well.

    It looks like a purple artichoke. I had one. Your processing is a bit heavy handed but still all in all an interesting shot.

    I agree that it's a little stiff and sharp, Tony.
