I went for a walk in the park behind my house after an overnight rain.
I shot this buttercup handheld with an on-camera speedlight with the plastic diffuser that came with it.

D500, Sigma 105mm Macro. f/20, 1/250, ISO-400
Post-processing in Lighroom and NIK.

Not one that I'm happy with. I switched to monochrome pretty early in the post-processing sequence because I couldn't get the color to come out the way I wanted.

No, the original photo was color, but it's not very exciting. I'm not on the computer that has those files right now - my daughter is using it for schoolwork.

Sorry, I'm usually pretty good at remembering to do that. I also prefer the monochrome, but Jack wanted to see it prior to all the processing.

I'll edit the original image with EXIF.
