last-day-entry. wanted to do something minimalistic. picked 2 petals off the rose (? did look like a rose, but never seen one with an inside like this) and twisted the petals that were left a bit to the bottom. I lit the flower from the back, with a softbox. shot towards the ground, where I placed a piece of white paper.
editing steps:
Levels - eraser - art history brush - brightness/contrast - desat reds a little bit to get that old-pink color - USM
How I wish this entry could've been 720px wide...
It feels like the flower isn't straight, but everytime I try to rotate it in Photoshop, at every amount of degrees, it doesn't seem straight. Oh well.

The title suits this image perfectly. I love the simplicity of this shot; the composition and the pops of color work so well. This is one of my favorites of the challenge!
