Tulip Abstract-2

Gallery: FloraPosted April 29, 2012146 views15 comments

Another abstract take on the Red/Yellow Tulip. I don't like what is happening in the top right with the chipped edge of the petal - some of you might not like that bit as well. I have to go with what is offered sometimes.

ND300s, AFS60mm F/2.8 Micronikkor, F/5.6, 1/1600 Sec, almost mid day sun and harsh light diffused using a 12" diffuser, ISO200 and Handheld. I find it very difficult to use a tripod for intimate close-ups like these.

Thanks a ton for your comments on Tulip Abstract-1 and I look forward to hearing your comments on this one.

Ram:
Another fine abstract but I like the previous one better. Agree with you about the RUC been a little untidy. How you are able to hand hold and get perfect sharpness at this magnification is beyond me

I love the subtle lines and the not so subtle lines Ram. Great color and a nice comp. I do not love the top right of the frame, but it is not a shot killer for me. I understand about using what you are given.

Oh, and I agree with Gary about the hand-holding! My goodness!

Awesome as usual, Ram. As for the URC, I think it reflects well on the high standard of your work, that that would even be considered a defect.

The chipped edge doesn't distract for me. Great colors and good DOF choice. This abstract is
excellent; I like it as much as Tulip Abstract-1.

Hi Ram

Another perfect abstract presentation

the vibrant color and the sharpness of leading edge of the petal is amazing

Another beauty, Ram ! Yes, maybe not quite as strong as the previous post, but I especially love the flush of yellow bottom L in this one - it sets up the flow of the main edge beautifully
