Taken for a photo shoot for a client at their property, this naturally lit bud caught my eye.
Imagine my surprise when looking at the challenge archives to find the blue ribbon (which is better than my effort) looking so similar.
The lens is actually the Sigma 150mm Macro for Nikon, but it wasn't in the drop-down list.
Processing:
NO CROP. Sharpen, Velvia Vision (increase dynamic range, color correction, saturation increase 20%), resize (WP Pro), unsharp mask, stroke and border, save for web.

What a great shot..... I really love the placement of this image, and also I love the fine detail in the flower bud, which is about to expose it's besuty to the world.....
Beautiful. So unusual. The complementary olive/avacado green with the rich purple - wow. Love the lighting and the use of negative space. Sometimes those types of frames don't work, but this really sets off the beautiful emerging blossom. Outstanding. Bumping up on 2nd review - 9
