WC#755-Flower Garden

Since I suggested this challenge, I'll start it off.  By way of explanation, I attended a lecture a year ago, and that photographer prints deliberately taken backgrounds to use in studio macro work and just prints them on cheap matte paper.  Creating suitable backgrounds seemed like an interesting exercise.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, f/6.3, 1/160, iso 800, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  I did a round of noise reduction and added a white layer on top.  I then adjusted the exposure and opacity of the white layer to get the effect I wanted.  Original taken June 19th, 2016.

Comments and criticisms are most welcome.

Thanks,
