G'day to all,

Almost Spring! Therefore this Crocus Flower.

Holy over-processing moly!

I may be entirely mistaken, but to me it appears to be quite over-processed, which for me ruins an otherwise perfectly beautiful flower. IMO heavy processing doesn't often jive well with Wildlife Photography, unless used very creatively in some sort of HDR.

I think I would have also liked to see both purple flowers in the shot. You were no doubt focusing on having a clearly defined subject, but in the current composition the second one poking out the back is a tad distracting.

Keep shooting!

No problem

Just out of curiosity, would you be able to post the original?

That is the problem, with Carl Zeiss Flektogon.
To focus with spot metering.

Thanks for the response
