Bathing in the evening sun

I wish I could do the same, every evening catching the last sunny

rays here, in the desert of Big Bend, Texas. Thanks for stopping by.

jana

but very electrical the plant

well seen and photographed Jana.

superb photo. I am very astonished by the medium ratings.

Nice use of hilight here Jana. What do you think about the same composition with the aperture wide open for the least dof? That would be my preference.

Thai , very good suggestion. But not so easy to perform. I did have the aperture wide open, but this plant was maybe 3 m high and on a cliff and so you have to have some distance. And then the DOF is not so selective, as you know. Another thing is to do that in PS. And that is what I did just now. Do you like it better? I do, thanks for the idea. thanks Jana

Wonderful light, Jana. The plant in the foreground looks as if lit.

Made me think of some sort of neon lighting sculpture! Great lighting and colouring?/contrast between the lime greens and purply blues. The grasses in the background are a subtle complement to the main plant's diagonals.

Sparkling and beautiful, nice background,...works well for me. ~Regards.

I actually like the DOF. A blurrier background would make this shot less distinctive.

Superb shot. I like the opposition between the yellow plant in foreground and the blue backgroung, and more, few yellow for much blue, the good proportion to make a colored well balanced picture. I agree with the suggestion of Thai Ta about the DOF.

Best regards, Fernand
