A plant commonly called a Three-cornered Leek.
I was coming off a nasty cold (3 weeks including a secondary bacterial infection) and needed to get out of the house, but not to strenuously. I drove to the local park and took my camera.
There were lots of these bright white flowers and as I crouched down to see which bloom I would pick out, I spotted the deep, deep shadow beneath the trees under which they were mostly growing.
There is very little processing on the image. Globally a slight boost to the midtones, plus the usual camera/lens corrections. Then three masks.
- On the flower to really boost the highlights, along with some more midtone boost and even a little on shadows.
- A patch on the broadest blade of green to tame a bright highlight.
- The background has a small exposure decrease (only -0.16) to crush a little bit of light that was back there.
