Bean Blossom-hidden beauty down on the farm

Bean Blossom on Green Cay Farm                                                  by Sarah Brown

One thing I love about documenting local farms are the hidden moments of shaded beauty. I saw this blossom leap off the vine at me. Delicate but strong to have shaken off the rain (it had rained all morning). The higher contrast helped the blossom leap off the paper. I shot this at 400ISO, 100mm fixed lense, fstop 2.1 (to really blur out the background). My conversion was to desaturate the image all the way, use the dropper to find the white balance, and adjusted the curve to push the shadows and darken the darks.
