Asymmetry

Gallery: FloraPosted October 4, 2010581 views9 comments

Hi, everyone. Back after a brief hiatus, I'm sure that I've missed a lot of great photos. Would luv to go back and make comments, but alas time doesn't permit. The asymmetrical nature of this gerbera caught my attention when I got home from work today. All commments/suggestions much appreciated.

The intricate design in the center formed by the smaller pink petals is highly interesting to me Philip

. Beautiful photo.

I like the composition and the color palette Philip. Also your dof decision. You did well to see this I think. I like the image.

Philip:
Incredible details of the center and petals. The broken portion makes this image interesting. Darkening the bg green in the gap between the petals may make the pink pop even more. Exceptional and like this a lot.

Very well done, Philip. The Tamron 90mm macro lens holds up very well to photos at this distance and timed exposure. I like everything about this image. No nits.

Philip: Fine image of a less than perfect bloom. This works for me very nicely. Well seen and captured. >=))>
