I went out in the garden to take photos of some mushrooms that had popped up but to my dismay found that the local squirrels had lunched on them! So, while talking with my neighbor, I saw one of his “cone flowers”, Echinacea purpurea growing nicely in late high diffuse light.
The common garden flower belongs to the daisy family. Some believe that it is an herbal herbal remedy for the common cold. It propagates from either seed or cutting.
I converted this one from color to black and white with Silver Effects Pro after boosting the contrast in Color Effects Pro. A bit of edge darkening was also applied.
