Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Flowers, Trees & Plants

taken right outside my house yesterday when i had a hunting-for-interesting-flowers-for-macro-session.

Personally i find it damn hard to take photos of flowers and plants without it getting boring and more of a documentation.
I achieved what i was after here, so im very pleased

I like the little white dots on the "thorns", i have no idea what they are for, or even what plant this is.

It is fun to take photos when you know you want a 1:1/square photo, it takes more planning with the composition.
As always with shots like this i shoot hand held without flash using daylight.

Trying to keep the iso as low as possible, i like to have around 1/150 sec to 1/200 sec shutter speed, to avoid any movement blur.

B/W with raw in lightroom and mild duo tone.
Grain removal, crop for square , strengthen duo-tone and added some more mild colors, blur background more, selective sharpen in Photoshop.

welcome to use it as wallpaper if you want to, or for reference for a drawing, but not for stock or re-use.
