Ipheion

An isolated Ipheion growing among a clump of them under a tree. These little flowers sway merrily in the breeze,; I've used the Topaz streak filter to suggest the play of the wind.

Ian - This is wonderful and somewhat minimalistic. Good control on the lighting and the trumpet like flower looks really nice.

Ian:

Good capture especially with the breeze. This does give the feeling of isolation with this lone flower

Beautiful minimalism Ian. Strong comp and I like the filter. Nice contrast between the softness and the sharp flower.

Lovely mood as well.
