This was taken while out for a walk with my camera looking for things to shoot. Didn't even have the challenge in mind at the time but its shallow depth of field does fit so thought I'd enter it.
Shot in RAW with my Canon 1100d. Lens was an old manual focus, M42 fitment (with EOS-M42 adapter ring) Chinon 200mm I picked up on ebay for less than £20.
All thats been done to this in Photoshop was to crop it, denoise a little using Topaz Denoize 5 plugin, adjust brightness and contrast using levels, adjust colour vibrancy/saturation, sharpen then resize for challenge and save as JPG.
