Queen Anne's Lace

A simple macro of the flower blossoms. I picked a set of blooms that were almost completely flat so that it could all be in focus even at close distance and f10.

Processing included the following: Selective colors to bring out whites and red hints and to darken the greens. I used two levels of noise ninja - one before crop and resize to sharpen and slightly smooth the background- the second after resize to boost the local contrast and to smooth the petals even more. Not much else! The glow was mostly created by the overcast sky/ lighting
