There’s not much of a story here. I like taking walks through a local municipal park. Sometimes I carry my camera. One of the homes along my route to the park has purple coneflowers growing along the street. I took this handheld with a macro lens and was pleasantly surprised by the result. Processing mostly consisted of global adjustments to tone and contrast and dodging and burning to bring out the center of the flower.
