Persian Shield Plant

This image was taken at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania with an iPhone 14 Pro using the Halide app in DNG format.

Processing of the DNG file was done in Lightroom Classic.

It was a fairly bright day and this plant was not in a shaded area so, the initial file was a little washed out, so:
- I lowered the exposure by 40
- Lowered the highlights by 30
- Lowered the whites by 15
- Lowered the blacks by 33
- Increased texture by 12
- Increased Clarity by 13
- Increased Vibrance by 15
- Increased saturation by 5
- Sharpened by 25 with masking of 45 and increased luminance noise reduction by 15

The image is cropped to to a square 1x1 format

The biggest challenge was getting around the crowds on what was a very busy day at the gardens so I could get this picture,
