TULIP

Believe it or not, this tulip was flattened by a huge roller taking the mountain tops off my lawn...I told the operator that it was OK. Flat as a pancake...3 days layer the leaves and stems were upright. Couldn't believe it. Harvested this one to bring inside for my wife.

I shot it in a vase using a ring flash and hand held...too lazy to set up the T-pod. You'll be amazed at the high ISO...that's my fault. I neglected to turn off the Auto ISO and choose a specific setting. It was a little noisy so I ran it through Topaz Denoise AI. Worked pretty well...first time I used the new update.

It's OK.....would have been better had I reset the Auto ISO.
