Invasion of the Body Snatcher Plant

This fiercesome looking flower reminds me of the pod plants from the

sci-fi classic, "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers." I was especially

attracted to the outrageous colors and the nifty, alien appearance and

background. The only photo-editing done was an increase in contrast

and about a 5% increase in color saturation. Taken in natural light

with no fill flash used.

needs a little more DOF. The very front appears out of focus which to me is distracting

Looks pretty much in focus to me Bob. Perhaps one tiny area in the very front is a little soft, but the DOF was very narrow in this poor light.

What is this exactly?? Nice though, whatever it is. Beautiful colors.

It's a tiny common flower (don't know the name) in its pod stage just before opening.

Here's the same flower a few days later as it opens into a flower.

too beautiful. it is very hilarious about that title - invasion of the body snatcher plant but it is good one, anyway. i love the colors, too vivid. i think it looked perfect.

 

if i see that picture in gallery, i would grab and buy it. to me, it is very inspiring one...

 

good work

works really well.
