Symphony in red

D600 150mm macro f/13 1/80 sec iso 500 delayed 2 sec cable release .. large crop

These red hanging begonias were suspended on the ceiling of the florists greenhouse. the owner let me use a tripod, but no ladder to get close enough. so i had to crop.
I named this post " symphony in red," because a symphony's varied notes resembled the varied light and color of this presentation

This is lovely for it's vast tonal variation throughout the petals. Very nice work, Albert.

A very fine image, Albert ! The movement of the petals from the centre and the shift from dark to light create a truly dramatic effect. The range of colour tones is also very beautiful.

Splendid image, Albert, and a perfectly fitting title. So many hues of red interacting in this image.

Albert, I think you are on to something with these backlit begonias. Beautiful. I like this one as much as the white one.

Wow! Beautiful color and a lovely sense of motion. Like a can-can dancer's skirt. Nicely done
