Pink Twister

Thought this was a slightly unusual take on a swirl. More like an unfurl. :smile: The shape of the rose just lent itself well to this pose.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Nikon D800 0.6s @ f/16 Tripod

Thanks for taking a look. Your comments are appreciated.

Sanjay - Very pretty. Love the Layer effect - going in the form of curves.

Did you shoot any verticals ? Might be worthwhile comparing to see which composition works best.

Ram, I didn't take any vertical shots but did try the same comp at f/8 and didn't think it looked as good as the sharper image I posted. I'll try the vertical next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nice variations in softness and sharpness, Sanjay, and lovely colour. I wonder what it would look like if cropped to have the flower centre a touch more central ?

Sanjay: I like your comp and the frame filling color. I know this is completely subjective but I like it better flipped horizontally. Has to do with my brain preferring apparent movement that goes left to right. >=))>
