I was so excited about this week's prompt for "Good to Wow" (Shoot and Edit). It has been a very unusually wet summer for us here in this part of Asia. We're experiencing an early start to the moonsoon/rainy season this year. I took lots and lots of shots of rain stuff and umbrella until I found this shot below last Sunday right after a big downpour. I went outside and found this upside-down hibiscus in my garden. It looks like an umbrella!!! I was so excited!
I wasn't sure how to go about with editing. I tried Ashley Sisk's
gradient map tutorial from last week but none fit right. So I did it in just simple "soft light" and "levels" layers.

EDIT
I tried several edits but decided to keep it simple and just focus on the flower and the raindrops. I added "soft light" layer at 100% and "levels" (darks 10, light 430) at 50%.
