Lotus Blossom #12, HDR


One last lotus blossom for the season, adjacent to the previous post.  Even though the angle in relation to the sun was only about 15 degrees different, the full back lit glow is missing.  Still, I liked the composition and clicked off the bracket series.


The monochrome generated by Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 is a platinum print preset I developed.
