About the Image(s)

I took the shot outside on an overcast day with a mild breeze. I used my Canon R; RF 100-500 lens at 300mm, f/10; 1/500 sec; and ISO at 1600. I was 1.38 meters from the flower.

It doesn't have to be big and showy to be beautiful. You'll never see this in a flower garden, and only perhaps in a vegetable garden. I forgot about a lettuce plant in my vegetable patch and it bolted, producing this small cluster of blooms. When I looked closely I liked it so I decided to see what king of photo I could get. The bloom is usually around 1/2 inch in diameter, never more than 1 inch.

I had to do a lot of cropping, and thus a good bit of denoise. I also did some haze removal and a some serious sharpening. I increased the color contrast and did and increased the saturation to bring out the yellow.
