A calla on my kitchen table, window light.
Image made with a Lens Baby 2.0, f/4 at 1/125 and both macro attachments (+10 and +4). Post-processing in PS: Levels, nik Tool: slight pastel added with opacity at 10%.
For those interested in this kind of thing, I initially tried desaturating with a saturation layer looking for what I had in mind with this one. The nik Tool got me closer to that vision.
