 I became obsessed with my shamrock's flowers this week. I have nice, sharp shots with water drops which might do better ... but I like this.

Had an extension tube on (I think the 20mm).

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, white balance, desaturated yellow/orange (which for some reason was prominent in the stem), shifted greens greener, increased contrast, reduced noise, added border, resized, sharpened.

I like the idea but, I would of liked to see much more clarity in the flower to distinct it to the background.

It is so very sweet. This would make a great cover on a poetry book.
