I was walking around North East Portland with my trusty N70 in my

camera bag. I had no plan to take picture, I was just getting into a

habit of carrying camera everywhere I go. I was waiting for my bus,

when I saw the light was VERY WILD !!! What I mean wild...is really

really really WILD !!! The sky was very beautiful. I run accross the

street and find a good spot to take some pictures. I was dissapointed

that there were many obstacles around (trees, buldings, etc), my hope

to get the best exposure of the day was gone...and my bus just

passing by.

 

I got back to bus stop and waited for another bus. Suddenly my eyes

struck on a bunch of flowers that was glow beautifully...I knew I

would get a very good exposures and composition. I run across the

street again for the second time, and composed a composition for the

flowers. I saw my bus was coming, and I only had one chance. I

quickly metered the scene, stop down one stop to increase color

saturation, and took only one exposure, then I run back to catch my

bus........

Fantastic capture of natural light! Absolutely stunning. Someone is bound to find fault with the division of the composition into nearly perfect thirds, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Very nice one. There is one flower being cut off at right. Would it be better if that flower was not present or the frame was moved a little bit to it right to include that flower?

Splendid picture ! Congratulations !

great shot, great light, great story

The flowers seem to reach out to catch the last rays of sun. 1/2 stop more exposure could have been better , but anyway I'd love to take a photo like this !

This is just beautiful photo. Great job.
