Another garden flower. Shot this in late afternoon light while laying on my stomach behind the tripod. That's when you get to enjoy South Florida's summer humidity.

Love it! Great combination of colours, nice perspective, and perfect DOF for my tastes.
My only suggestion is to move the flower down in the frame just a tad and see what you think. Seems a little too centered verticaly, to me.

Very artistic and dreamy Wayne. I especially love the complimentary soft pastel BG colorlation. The main bloom is wonderful, love the POV!

Wonderful colour palette Wayne. Looks hot and steamy

. I like the comp with the matching diagonals in the BG of colour. To be true to them I might consider cloning out the deep fuchsia colour in the ULC or just colour match it to the same colour in the rest of that corner. Just my .02 worth if that.

Like the others I love the colors. Your use of a very shallow depth of field imparts a very dreamy quality to the image. No nits to pick.

Wayne, Beautiful colors - the flower seems to be in a Sorbet heaven

. You could perhaps reduce the saturation of the reddish patch in the ULC.

Nice photo

Another beautiful bg--kinda tie-dyed in effect. The zinnia almosts pulses with vibrant color. Nice

Typical Willison post, great subject and well thought out, in other words fabulous, love the colors. I would loved to have been there watching you get up off of your stomach, must have been a real show. Last time I tried it my wife laughed her head off at an old geezer trying to get back up after laying on the ground for a while focusing on a flower.
