Baby Clover
Soft and Sweet
Soft and sweet, she spoke
In a voice that pierced our hearts
Silenced in the end.

#FloralFriday — Summer’s Last Baby Clover
Sometimes a stack focus only needs a couple layers to get the image you had in mind. This little beauty was plucked from my back yard before I mowed the other day and I decided to give it a softer, more dreamy feel. At less than a 1/2″ in width (scroll to the other #BTS shots), this Baby Clover was a challenge to shoot in the first place. To put it on a low contrast background and try to layer 1/32″ slices of focal soup on it would have been a nightmare (trust me). The final image ended up sharp as a tack where I wanted it and soft and tender around the edges.
