That's right: I sometimes take pictures of flowers.

Even rarer: I sometimes have a reasonable idea what sort of flower I'm taking a picture of.

This one: it's a pinkish flower. Almost certain.

Nice one. However, Google Image Search tells me this is a cupcake.

I really like the way you processed your photo, may I ask how did you achieve such a cool effect? 🙂 Thanks.

+Jakob Nilsson Then a cupcake it is. I've learnt always to trust Google Image Search.

+Lynda Bowyer Yes… but… it's Saturday.

+Lawrence del Mundo Oh, I'll try anything. I'm one of nature's Jack of all trades and master of none.

+Swee Oh Just two things: initially I tweaked the curves to increase the brightness while still keeping some of the higher saturation in the darker end of the colour spectrum. Secondly, I added a teal-coloured layer and blended it with soft light in Photoshop over the top to cool the background colours a little.
