Day 94...

Today I wanted to do something a little more artistic than I've done in the past few days. While attending my wife's baby shower last year I happened to take a picture of one of the white flowers that organizers brought with them. While the picture initially was not overly spectacular, I made a few tweaks that I think makes for pretty good capture.

I started by cropping close into the flower and increased the levels significantly to black out the background and enhance the petals. I then applied a gradient map, which brought out the yellow highlights and sharpened around the edges of the petals.
