Touch of fire

Tom,

Beautiful colours and nice macro. Very well done!!!

Thank you my friend

another wonderful shot!

Thank you all. I was sitting on a terrace when these flowers caught my eye. Just before a thunderstorm I had this great light "session" of clouds and sun working together. Guess it worked.

well done 7/6

The central flower forms a nice composition. The exposure is perfect resulting in great detail and very natural, saturated colors.

 

Although my approach would be a little different. I would have isolated the central flower against a black (or dark blue) background. This would of course give a more artificial image, contrasting the more natural feeling you put in this photo.

Ivan, thanks for your elaborate comment. I see where you are coming from but in this case it was not a shot I could manipulate or setup. It was shot on a terrace while I was having coffee. I liked the backdrop eventhough it does not isolate the flower. That is what usually would be the idea to focus the attention. still I like the diverse colour backdrop. Considering it wasn't a studio shot or an altered situation. Thanks though.

Nice colors.
