Purple flower

The only other shot from my park-crawl yesterday that I like. I

intentionally chose to cut off the top/side of the flower, since I

thought it made for a more interesting composition than having the

entire flower fill the frame, as well as allowing for more balance

between the purple and green colors. I wonder if others feel the same

way.

Nice colors, well done!

good choice of composition. Well done.

Michael, i agree with the colors, they are exceptional. As to your composition, am not quite sure about that. It is definitely not the norm, which for me has great appeal in itself. Have sat before this image for a considerable time and can not come up with any suggestions to improve it. So i guess that means i should just enjoy what you have created as it is. I hope you continue your quest into the world of flowers as is giving me much pleasure.

All the best.....roger

Michael. I really like the colours here and you have captured the flower beautifully.

Regards Sarah

Thanks everyone for the great comments and feedback.

 

@Roger -- I think I will continue with flowers. My initial tendency is to overlook them, but getting close and playing with colors and shapes really does open up an entirely new world.

Michael, you want to be careful or you might end up getting hooked on the flowers. i looked at a rose 10 years ago fell into it, and since that time have only worked with flowers. Your right when you say is a "entirely new world" and one well worth exploring!

I love the composition and the purple against the lime green is so beautiful .

This is a fantastic shot. I agree with all the comments above. What I actually love about this, apart from the color, DOF and composition, is that you did not remove the pollen on the petals. Imperfections in flowers are, in my opinion, part of what make them beautiful. I agree with Roger - if this shot is any indication of your eye for flower photography, I'd keep at it. Regards, David
