Cleome series #5

Nikon D300, 150mm, F/6.3, 1/125, ISO 200.

My favourite of the series, I like how the focus fades into the background. I hope you like my artistic interpretation of the scene. Comments appreciated.

Hi Albert:
This one looks similar to #1 (which I like) if rotated 90 deg. Excellent choice of DOF.

I like this a lot, too, Albert, because of the filaments (?) against the bg, the same reasons I liked the first so much. Well done.

Another nice one, Albert. Great lines and palette.

Another great shot, Albert. I like the focus of the front flower against the OOF back flowers. The little stamens (?) reaching out at some nice lines to the image.

I seem to always like your first posts of your series the best...but this is quite nice as well. It could be my monitor but it seems a tad on the dark side...it would be nice to see how it looks cheered up a little.

Albert - First remains the best for me followed by this one. I too like it for the reason you mentioned. Highly enjoyable series.

Oh, YES! Albert. I like this one very much. I think it is my favorite, too, similar to, and better than, one posted earlier in the series. Excellent.

Lovely, airy feel to the composition, Albert. and gorgeous pastels. Like very much your choice of focal depth and selection of specific anthers for sharp treatment.
