Hasselblad 503CWD_6559746a Lovely Apple Blossoms

I converted this image to a monochrome and almost posted it. It is a beauty.

My secret sauce was to place the monochrome over the color version, then reduce Opacity in Photoshop to 66% or maybe 66.6667%, then grab the Saturation and increase it by the same amount, and then the increase Vibrance by 14%, then I layered the original .TIF and adjusted it until it suited my taste and gave it a more natural look.

I have not used my Hasselblad in a long time and definitely have not used the 250mm in a long time. As I used an Extension Tube, it was challenging to focus, even wide open at f/5.6
