Dark and Moody Botanical Photography

I just finished another Skillshare class: Dark and Moody Botanical Photography.  This short class was actually very inspiring, full of ideas for composition and editing of botanical photos in to capture a moody feel.  

You wouldn't think there would be very many botanicals to photograph in February in Michigan, but I headed out with my camera on a wet cloudy afternoon and I was surprised at all I found.

I used Adobe Lightroom for editing.  I usually am trying to add light to my photos, so it was an interesting challenge to darken my photos while keeping them interesting and enhancing the textures.

I am excited to try this with some flowers in the spring.
