This is the last shot of the series but is taken in the same direction as yesterdays. It was later after the color was gone. I considered starting here, but as you see the flowers are sparse in this location. But it does allow an UWA lens and that in turn is good for the low and close method that makes the flowers appear larger. Unfortunately, the flowers slope away from me and because of a hole, I could not get many flowers close to the camera.
A well corrected and level UWA lens has straight vertical and horizontal lines, but simple geometry means the diagonals are pulled. If you shoot a tire laying on the ground it will appear oval. You can see this in the clouds of this image, which gives drama that would not occur with a longer lens to this degree.
I processed this from a single image with yesterdays comments in mind but with my own vision retained.
Please let me know what you would change?
Do the color look right? Too much saturation, clarity or shadow lifting? Not sharp enough? Not enough USM?
The one I will print has even more drama, this is the web version.
