Challenge: Square Crop VIII (DPL2026-1A) (Standard Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Canon EOS R3
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: Reykjavik
Date: Jun 30, 2026
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/40
Date Uploaded: Jul 5, 2026

 A focus stack of about 35 frames, shot on the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro at a very close distance, these flowers were microscopic in size, only about 2cm in diamater each. So post-processing simply featured blending with Helicon Focus and then some color adjustments with Capture One.

I’m kind of over floral images, having seen so many of them, but this one absolutely pops and stands out.

It looks like you used some gradient up top and a lot of darkening and contrast, would love to know what else you did to make it look 3-D. This should do well. A rare 10 and a fave.

Nice and sharp with the beautifully done flower. Background is lovely. Not sure I would crop this image square in general as cropping in from the top may be a more powerful composition.
