I was playing around with a low perspective on the Lily in the front of the house for the HDR challenge, when I captured this photo. It was much better standing by itself than it was as part of an HDR image.
Post processing included converting to greyscale, reducing greyscale, increasing sharpness, and removing noise reduction (all in RAW). After exporting to a JPEG, I colorized it to give it the light pink hue, added vignetting, slightly adjusted the saturation and contrast, and sharpened again.
This was shot with a 13mm extension tube to ensure I could get focus while filling the scene.
