Dragonfly on Lily Bud

August 29, 2015 Doug Coulson

Fuji X-T1; 1/450; f/4.4; ISO 200; post production in Lightroom 4 desaturated the green and saturated the blue and purple.  Photo black increased along with exposure.  This trial-and-error Lightroom color and exposure slider work took about 90 seconds.
