All of these close-up shots of flowers I take are probably my way of subconsciously saying I want a macro lens or a smartphone that has macro capabilities. I love seeing this weird, heightened sense of reality that you don’t get by just walking by a flower and thinking, “That’s nice-looking.” I also think it’s funny how some of the shots I take actually look better than reality when viewed through the “viewfinder”, which in this case is the iPhone’s display. The HDR in particular makes everything look more vivid. Maybe too vivid? Maybe. But maybe not, because the colors and lighting are so very pretty.
