trying to bring a bit more detail --

Not the normal soft way for this shot but I fear the edge of petals are too dark?
but it seems to bring out detail a bit more.
the compression sort of takes the detail away - better here

f/4.5

1/500

50 mm

handheld

Very pretty, I like this angle and the closeness very much. Creative RAW processing could brighten the midtones and keep the highlights from clipping.

Hi

A very pretty flower and an image that although dark seems suited to the look because perhaps this indicates a night setting? I think at shooting time I would have also tried a more stopped down shot, which with the dark surround might also have worked well, and having both would have allowed you to make a comparison. Either way a nice look at this subject

All the best
Matthew

Vary fitting for a night blooming species and a very pretty view!
