Creeping Sedum (?)

Gallery: FloraPosted June 15, 201456 views5 comments

I believe this is Creeping Sedum. Was growing in a small corner of the gardens, pretty much un-noticed.

Shot in early morning light, manipulated by diffuser. A small vignette added in processing.

Very nice, Ram. I like the placement of the flowers amid the frame filling foliage. Looks like the flag of Sedumland.

I love the frame filling foliage and the burst of color. Perfect composition to show off both of those elements. Excellent!

Does Sedumland have a national anthem?

You certainly filled the whole frame, with a traditional thirds placement of the flowers. The small vignette is a nice touch, but not really necessary, IMO.

Composition seems to me the most interesting element of the photo, Ram. In the opposite corners the yellow bouchet and the bigger plant balance and dominate the image. I like it.
Take care.

Hi Ram

Instead of using your name put " Ansel adams. " and you would get 25 comments

this excellent composition would also look great in B&W
