I like macros, and flowers can make for some interesting shots. This was taken on H&I's recent trip to The Show, but to behonest I wasn't wild on the original colour version of this shot. I mean, it didn't stand out due to the colours being a bit flat. So I played around with the RAW file by dropping out all colour completely, in order to see the shot in it's simplest form. (Sometimes I find removing the distraction of colour, getting down to the basic black and white helps.) I liked it, so I tweaked some more of the settings ... and this is the end result.

The name of the shot? It's named as it appears.
