I shot this plant in a creative planter my wife had. Took the picture in March of 2024 setting it up on a couple plaster columns from Hobby Lobby, rough cut lumber using a soft box to light from the side.
Canon 5D MIV 24-70mm set approx. 35mm. ISO 200 1/200 f8

Post processing notes:
Edited only in ON1 Photo Raw making the adjustments in tone & color. Added Local adjustments using gradients to lighten and darken several areas. In the original the columns were a bit to hot and had a slight yellow cast. Used a local brush adjustment on them to lower the highlights and desaturate. The background was a dark gray backdrop. I added another layer inserting a blueish texture, changing the Blend Mode to Saturate with about half Opacity.. Added effects filters, 1) Curves 2) Dynamic Contrast 3)Glow and finally added a Vignette. Edit this Image with the latest and Greatest, ON1 Photo Raw Max 2026.4 (20.4.1.18862)Exif information:
