Story Behind The Image

During mid-spring, when the garden was bursting with color, this flower caught my attention with its rich, warm tones of its petals it stood out against the surrounding foliage, but I wanted to create even more contrast to make the flower the true focus point. 

To achieve this, I selected the background in Photoshop and darkened it to pure black, isolating the flower and making it appear almost three-dimensional. The lighting and shallow depth of field helped enhance the soft curves of the petals, drawing attention to the intricate details and structure of the blooming flower.
