The wife has been adding plants to the back yard. One is this Persian Shield (Strobilanthes dyeriana) which has striking purple colors. I’ve been fighting with images of this plant for two days trying to get an image I like.

I think I finally found an image which I am happy with although I just went out with a different lens to try some other views of the plant. I think I’ll wait until tomorrow to process the new images. This image was shot on the Fujifilm X-T2 and the XF 80mm F2.8 Macro. Sometimes you have to work then rework images to get what you want. And sometimes it’s best if you leave it for a bit then come back to it. Sometimes you just need to say no.
