Jewelweed Buds

Gallery: FloraPosted August 19, 201356 views5 comments

Canon7D, Canon60mm2.8lens,1/40sec,f10,ISO400.Light shade. Approx 70% of original. Slight PS adjustment to BG.
By total coincidence after posting this I saw that another image of this plant had been posted recently - must be the time of year.
Does the blue area on the left bother anyone?

Roger - I have seen these before but always found isolating them very difficult. Love how you managed it + the dew drops on the top.

Nice, Roger ! Love the lighting, the detail, the smooth bg. Re the blue area - it might be seen as a touch distracting, but it does pick up on the blue in the stems, so I think it's fine as is.

Nice, Roger ! Love the lighting, the detail, the smooth bg, the negative space. Re the blue area - it might be seen as a touch distracting, but it does pick up on the blue in the stems, so I think it's fine as is.

Hi Roger

I too have never seen this beauty before

you captured the color and complex lines wonderfully well.... for me. the blue area is not a deal breaker
