White Begonia

An all white Tuberous Begonia similar to the one Patricia Brundage posted recently. Found this in absolutely pristine condition. I had to clone out just a couple of small dust specks.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/16, 1/10 Sec, ISO400, Tripod and Diffuser.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Osteospermum Twins and let me know what you think of this one.

Almost passed it by because of the thumbnail. I'm glad I didn't! Very minimalist, very high key and absolutely lovely. This one needs to be seen big in a gallery!

Way cool! Love the transition from blue-ish white that seems to be cold and full of motion...to the warmth at center. Creamy and immobile. Great dof and frame selection / placement. Man...this oozes with success! Congrats!

As Phil said, print this big and hang it in a gallery, just not next to mine. :wink:

Oh yeah! This is a high key beauty Ram. Congrats on such a nice, clean bloom. Wonderful exposure, excellent comp. I love the layers of ruffles. I need to buy some begonias next year! :smile:
