Mini Callas Color

Gallery: FloraPosted November 8, 20163,504 views11 comments

These beautiful small calla lilies caught my eye in the flower market and this is my best image from many attempts to capture their curvy petals and gorgeous petals. I don't normally post in this gallery, but I always admire the work shown here.

Canon 5d,M3, ISO500, 100 Macro lens, f/2.8, 1/320 sec., tripod, taken outdoors in the shade with a little lighting.

Thanks in advance for any critiques or comments.

I used a small, hand held LED light with a warm filter.

I like the composition with the wavy petals and the color combination.

Caught my eye too! Amazing colors and abstract design created by the colors and just enough to make out the calla lily. I might crop to eliminate the dark green right corner as it is less focused in that area any way and does take away from those beautiful colors just below it. Very interesting and beautiful photography. Thank you for sharing and posting in this gallery.

Your lighting works very well for the most part, though the bright greens in the lower right corner tend to draw my eye. I also like the curves and the way they lead into the image. Overall a very delightful arrangement.

A gorgeous and artistic close-up that really accents the wavy shapes and the beautiful palette of colors. Good eye to see the composition and an excellent shot with just the right DOF. Very nice, Kathy!

Katy I have looked at your photo in the larger view window and I have admired the beautiful colors and the original composition of the image. The award is surely deserved.

The new coloured callas also facinate me, but I have not been able to get a good angle on them.
This is very artistic, colourful, and a perfect perspective.
Congrats on a fine WP the first time you posted in this gallery!
excellent work!
