Delwyn challenged me to do a "minimalist photo that would work well for a piece of framed art work on the wall".
This has been ETSOOI-ed to within a millimeter of its digital life. It's a focus stack of 6 photos, dust on the sensor has been cloned out, exposure tweaked to get that white a tad whiterier, sharpening to get the stamen clear and cropped to square as that's the usual for these sorts of canvases. It took for blooming ever to do and when Affinity crashed the cat ran out of the room!!
As you know I'm not a one for too much processing ( hahaha!!) but I'm hosting this challenge so I invite you to join in.
