Gallery: FloraPosted June 16, 2016201 views6 comments
Sony A77
Sony 70-400G @ 330mm, 12mm XT
ISO 200, 1/60 @ f11

Shot this a little after dawn a few days ago. I have to fight the humidity fogging my lens until it warms up enough but I like the effect of a little haze on the lens. All comments welcome.>=))>

Lovely complimentary background with the nicely composed and detailed flower.

I like the softness of the flower and bg and the sharpness of the stamens and pistil.  I think I would have cloned the light spot on the left petal. Well done.

The softness of the petals and bg, along with the haze, create a beautiful effect!  I also like the glowing edges of the anthers.

Beauty, Bill. The soft light and bit of haze is really nice. I could see cloning the thin bright stem that extends from the llc to the lower left petal.

Hi Bill.
I hope I am finally back now after some problems. This is my favorite of the series for softness and colors. I agree with the suggestions about cloning. There is another artifact in the middle petal on the right.

Wonderful yellow green color cast really makes this. I'm ambivalent about the cloning of which others have made note. They are not that obvious until they get pointed out. If this were mine, I think I would content myself bright spt on the LL petal. What catches my eye is the rim-lit anthers. A feast of light and texture!devil
