[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another of the thistle. This one was 2 days later as it opened some and the colors faded a little.

I processed this a bit differently that the first one. The first was had the direct positive effect applied in Lightroom first, then the exposure, contrast, blacks fine tuned. That seemed to bring out the purples more. For this one, I didn't use the direct positive setting. Seems to leave the colors more subdued and emphasize the pinks more.
