A Hidden Beauty
by SmutjeUK
If you click on the EXIF value tag you can see the settings. Nothing special here either.
All I did was in post production to enhanced the brightness, contrast and saturation and cropped away the surrounding area of dead branches, leaves etc.
Exposure was set to full program with centre metering.
I just was lucky, as without the sun shining through the surrounding bushes and dead or dying plants and a brick wall set right behind it I would not even have spotted that beauty.
Got a few more from that day, all of them still in full beauty but on the brink of dying as everything in October and will place some them here one a day.
I just was lucky, kept my eyes open to the surrounding area I was walking through and took my time in walking and looking and I got this lucky shot.
Many thanks for your kind comments.
Kind regards

It's nice to be nice!
Pentax K-5 with D-GB4 Grip, to many lenses to mention by now (serious LBA by now), TC's, Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW, Manfrotto 028 & Redsnapper RS-283 with various Heads plus various Camera Clamps (I collect them). Pentax AF 360FGZ, Pentax AF 240FT, several Metz 45 CT-1 & 5 with stands and 'Blow Up' Soft Boxes, Flash Triggers, and various Macro gear.
Sorry, I just liked how it was sitting there on its own and the Sun shining on to it and have actually no clue of the species.
Any help here?
Kind regards

Its nice to see that you like the picture. Seems I slowly get to grips with the 'new' Digital SLR at least.

Everything's in focus beautifully.
If you can "shed some light" on how you managed to isolate just the flower, please do...did you use a black card behind the flower/...
I'd love to have some advice!
Thanks
