Painted with Light

Another one of my orchids is in bloom. Yay!
I experimented a bit with exposures and photo processing. I closed down the aperture to maximize the depth of field and then messed with the brightness and contrast of the image. I really like how it gives the photo a 2D painted look.
Technical Details
Aperture Value: f/36

The Mighty Purple Urchin
