Gazania 2

Gallery: FloraPosted May 29, 2014179 views8 comments

Hi all.

Thank you for the honest thoughts on my other gazania photo.

This one is clear to the other side of the spectrum. This one was shot at f22. I liked the lines in this one.

I spent about a half an hour cleaning up tons of tiny specks of pollen.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Nathan

Nikon D7000, Sigma 180 macro, tripod, ISO 400, f22, liberal cloning of pollen and dust, also mended a gap right on the left side (about mid frame)

I like this a lot, Nathan. I might be inclined to burn the top (or crop the top to about a 4x5 ratio).

Love the quality of your work as this a complete opposite of your usual work. It is absolutely as good as your other work and I congratulate you on your fine presentation.

Wonderful close up. I like the flow with the yellow in the corner and the color transition of the pedals, way to go.

Nathan,
There is so much to see for such a small area pictured here. As you mentioned, the lines are outstanding along with the colors and detail.
Well done . . .
