In The Pink • Macro Photography

I captured these flowers last week in Bryant Park. Everything was blooming and looking in the pink especially the pink flowers. I created a simple edit in photoshop to highlight the pink color of the flowers on a black and white background.

Here's how I did it:

I opened the flower image in photoshop.

I created a duplicate layer of the image.

I desaturated the top layer to make it black & white.

I used the erase tool with a soft round brush to erase the black & white layer of just the petals to reveal the pink flower beneath.

Save, Export, Post!

I photographed the flower with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.
