st. louis botanical gardens Untitled

This is a photo I took a couple years ago of some kind of exotic

plant, the red is some kind of thorn that grows on it. There is no

photoshop work done, the lighting I thought was interesting in showing

the texture. Let me know what you think.

Great shot, i love the angle on which you have captured it.

I have the same flower postered in my portfolio, no where near as effective as this though. Nice job.

I like this one alot Allison, great depth of field. The angle and colors work really well also. I like how parts of the petals are black, adds visual interest I think. So to answer your question about my "magic shoe" photo, are you sure your ready for this groundbreaking/never before released info??? ;0) well here it is. All the photo is is a shoe and me waving a flashlight over it with a shutter speed of 8 seconds in a pitch black room. The flashlight emits a cool blueish light that's why I used it, it's one of those "kinetic" flashlights that doesn't take batteries. Thanks again.
