Stamen in Pastels

Feedback is welcome.

Finally, a unique close up of a flower. Flower shots are generally way overdone, but this one breaks the mold. Great colors and depth of field.

Nice composition.

Ken, the beautiful mood created by the goldenish warm tonal, and unique effect for flower abstract, stunning achieved!!! Best regards.

The out-of-focus filament that lacks the anther leaves something to be desire about this photograph. The pastel colors are quite pleasing. I think the square format is effective.

Very nice macro shot. More interesting than most and very colorful. Nice job.

Ken, this is an original macro crop!the bg,accentuate the stamens so very nice, and the color range is compatible.

 

Good image!

I love the colors Ken! They almost look like they are from another world :) Perfectly composed with such nice detail. The subject is interesting & the light/shadow is soft & appropriate against the brighter flower pedals. They look like they are just awakening :) Super capture!

Excelente suavidad de luz, color y gran calidad en los estambres de la flor, saludos cordiales Ken.

Very nice colors and compositon.

I like the composition, well done.

Great details for an orginal composition, Ken.

A fine macro.

Ken, this is truly different. S U P E R B picture in harmony with yellow pastel. Regards, Thierry

The background is what makes it for me Doc ..... nice.

 

Thanks for all the tech details too - If I'm reading them correctly this was a handheld macro @ 1/10th second ? Shame on you - where's your tripod ? .... This is no PowWow yer shootin' ya know .... (-;

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't have Parkinson's disease but my hand is not steady enough to shoot without a tripod at 1/10 of a second! I've corrected that.

Smile - that's Ok Doc - you can operate on me anytime ...

Looks like a dance of stamens to me. Very nice colors and detail, Ken.

Very original macro work, I like it a lot. Bravo for this excellent work.

Gorgeous sensual colours & smooth elegant flow. A good macro, Ken.

Ken, great image, I love the unusual square format and the hues .

Nice range of tones and good sense of rhthym in this fine abstract. . I agree with Jana. . . a great addition to Georgia's garden. . .

Great use of colour, Ken! The lines and colours are full of energy and life.

Absolutely lyrical, Ken!
