[Play Raw] Infinite Field of Flowers

Processing
1

I happened upon a huuuuuuuge field of flowers near my house, and couldn’t help but take a bunch of photos with a bunch of my lenses.

This one was with my Hasselblad 50/4 on a tilt/shift adapter, tilted down for better DoF coverage. However, there was some weird faint but bothersome flare on the right side of the frame (I thought I had shaded the front element…) so I felt I had to crop it heavily.

I’d love to see what you people can do with the raw:

The flare is a faint diagonal up/right down/left streak:

I liked the original composition, and I’m not so sure that’s lens flare. Anyway, in rawproc:

Flower field is beautiful but picture has too much texture. This is my softer and colder version:

Tilt shift lens adapters! Cool stuff…
Here is another tilted lens picture to add to this play-raw. Full licence granted for educational use.
Edit: Lens I used to take this picture is the Nikon el Nikkor 135mm f/5.6, mounted on Nikon PB-4 bellows using tilt function, on a Sony A7ii.
