This natural beauty is the essence of blooming elegance.  I decided to just take a five exposure, HDR snap of this flower in its blissful simplicity.

Nikon D700 with 28-70mm f/2.8 lens at 70mm, f/4.8, ISO 400. Nik HDR Efex Pro, Adobe Photoshop CS6 and (below) Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 blended with Photoshop.

Here’s an artsy version complements of Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
