Although I am new to this forum, I'm not new to photography

This image of an american lotus was taken with a Canon D30 about a year ago at kanapaha botanical gardens in Gainesville, FL. I used Photoshop CS to create a channel mixer layer to convert to monochrome and a curves layer to up the contrast and drop out the background. Hope you enjoy, comments welcome and appreciated!
