Good point Godders. I know these blooms don't always hang perpendicular to the ground. They're only about 3/8 inch long. But I think you're correct in saying that the shot will look better rotated to approximately perpendicular. I shot it laying down with the camera resting on the ground, so I might have missed the alignment. In processing it felt natural. But after considering your comment, I have to agree. So I fixed it. I also brought down the highlights just a tiny bit. Snowdrops are almost pure white, but I think there was room for improvement. I also dropped the midrange tones a bit. Thanks for commenting.
