Macro Moments: Week 37 – Water
This unfolding tulip was in a floral display in the town of Confolens that I happened on just after it had rained. As we’re not looking for bokeh this time, I’ve eliminated any background distractions during the editing process.
(I posted a black & white image of the next tulip along as a contribution to Cee’s current Black & White Challenge.)

Wonderful capture! I love the dark background and the texture of water against the yellow.
Lovely! Thanks for joining the challenge. I’d love to know what technique you uss to change the background.
Thank you. To darken the background I pulled back the exposure by one stop and increased the contrast. Then I moved the ‘Shadows’ slider all the way over to the left and the ‘Dehaze’ slider all the way over to the right (all in Lightroom).
