My wife planted this too close to the garage, and I’ve been waiting patiently for weeks for one of its blooms to face where I have to stand with the camera.
The brightness of the flower relative to that of the leaves is unbelievable – I had to use –2/3ev exposure compensation to control the flower and then selectively use the equivalent of a screen blend to pull some of the leaves out of the background.
