Centaurea with Friends

Gallery: FloraPosted July 6, 201398 views7 comments

I was debating on which gallery to post this image. It was starting to rain and the lighting was interesting on this yellow Centaurea flower. There was 2 bonus arthropods present daring me to come in closer. I chose this composition as it was interesting to me that a daddy long-legs was waving its legs around as the rain began to fall.

Jim - Very pretty - nice clean background too. Spider is like the proverbial icing on the cake. May be a bit more space left and right for the leaves ?

Nice, Jim. I like the spider on the top and it looks like you did a good job of handling the yellows.

Cool, well captured image, Jim. Looks like a floral dessert -- a multiflavor floral ice cream cone with a spider on top.

Great elements handled well here Jim. The party crasher is a great addition.
