Cup and Saucer Part II – FOTD


Still life image of a cup and saucer, complimented with flowers.

Camera Settings

Camera: Canon EOS 70D

F/Number: f/8.0
ISO: 100

Focal Distance: 60mm

Continuing my series of Cup and Saucer, in the above image, I just wanted to create colour over the flowers…. and keep the primary image monochrome. Only in this image I removed the heart shaped candle.

Below is the processing technique I used.
