Bottle Brush- View Large

I used a narrow depth of field to focus on the yellow tips rather than the entire

flower.

Great results Dominic!! Beautiful result with excellent focus on the 'tips'. Warm regards, Gail

Beautiful work with lovely colours and composition.

nice effect, Dom.  Good use of shallow dof- colors amazing too!

I really like what you have done here, its a well thought out image and the results speak fr themselves.  Very well done!

Best Regards

major dom,  beautiful way to fill the frame.  nice work.

Thanks All!   

The deep reds and the brilliant yellow stamens that glow like gold is such a great idea. Really very beautiful.  Best Regards,  Sherry

major dom,  forgot to leave a suggestion.  think a band of black around this image would really look good.

Roger, thanks for the suggestion.   That's a technique I've not used, but would like to try.  Quick tutorial?

Dominick,

  Wow...beautiful flower with wonderful colors, lighting & details.  Take care, Patsy

major dom,   go to you-tube and ask for tutorial on not just that but on about anything you can think of, and they will take you through it step by step.  i just discovered this not so long a go myself. i tell ya major, the world is a changing!

Roger that!

Extraordinary effect! colors and glow! Greetings, Maria

Typifies the type of photography where you demonstrate excellence. Any tips for me?

The yellow glow provides an excellent visual contrast to the passionate and warm red of the bottle brush flower. I have tried taking a few in the Caribbean but between the wind and the lighting conditions, I have not got anything half as good as this.

Tony,  thanks for your kind words.  I do have a thing for flowers, don't I?  I looked at this flower and thought, "I've seen so many of these photographed well, how can I make mine unique?"     You have an excellent eye for ice sculptures and landscapes, which I admire.  I'm just lucky to have flowers most of the year.
