Summerbright

Perfect title for this image. I really like the composition and the perspective of the underside of the flower, it leans into the frame gently and emits a golden light that seems to infuse everything in its orbit.  Beautifully done!

Hi Alf,

I'm still trying to cling on to summer, whence the summer theme. Really pleased that you liked this.

Best regards. Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

Well shot. A very nice complimentary background, too.

The 18-85mm lens is serving you well.

Best Regards,  Mike

 

 

 

Thanks Mike. Have to say that I do feel really comfortable with the 18-55mm lens - seems to be quite a good alrounder.

All the best. Sarah.

Thanks for looking and comments/suggestions always appreciated.

Sarah, this was a real pleasant surprise to find.  separation between subject and b/g works really well, prevents subject from getting lost in b/g. a real pleasure to view!

Thanks Roger. Pleased you liked this. I'm still trying to cling on to summer for as long as possible!

Warm regards. Sarah.

Wonderful DOF, color, and sharpness. Unique angle works very well. Our summer flowers are hanging on (barely) but trees are quickly changing color. Summer is giving up. Take care, Deanna

Hi Deanna. Thanks for feedback. Have to say the flowers in the garden are still going strong, maybe due to the mild weather we have been having - some parts of the UK have been 27 degrees today!

Warm regards. Sarah.

Hello Sarah,

 

Wonderful image.  Very simple yet beautiful.  The DOF is great and the limited colors make this a wonderful picture.

Well Done,

Ben

Hi Ben. Many thanks for stopping by. It's very much appreciated.

lovely.  i think i must have missed it before because the other one is even better.  best, jamie

Thanks Jamie. Not sure how you missed this too, as it's like a big, bright, yellow explosion! Many thanks though for stopping by and for your feedback. Warm regards. Sarah.

I think your own words said it right... a big, bold yellow explosion! Lovely explosion at that too! Beautiful background colors and blur with great focus on the foreground flower. Very well done and lovely to view. Most cheery! Thank you for sharing. :)

Hi Trisha, Thanks for stopping by and I'm really pleased that you liked this and found it cheery! That is something I was hoping to achieve with this image. Warm regards. Sarah.

Splendid,as Roger said separation between flower and bg is so eyes catching here,nice vivid color,compliments.
