 Yep...a flower...can you imagine....but look of the cool purples and blues through. Don't get to do these in studio often but I love it when I can. This was one plant when I got it but the main stem bent and the two stalks came apart when I cut the main stem off. I used both in the shooting. Studio lighting, camera on tripod with cable remote

Post: Camera raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Convert to jpeg. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Some CW rotation and crop and cropped again for aspect ration. Rotate 90° CW and flipped horizontal. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.
