 Creative Notes
While this flower was stunning as a color image, I wanted to work it as a b/w because of the texture and silky lines in the leaves and petals. I rotated it by degrees until I found an arrangement that I thought was pleasing. The white spot on the top petal was a yellow damaged part.
 Technical Notes
I took three bracketed exposures but only used one, the center weighted image. The light was coming from above and I was shooting straight down, so it exposed nicely. I drove the contrast way up with the Levels tool and turned the image a bit.
