Life after a forest clearcut.

Thoughts

Dave, this is another example of your skill at composition; it is incredibly effective. Perfect exposure and color. I really like the colors of the flower and stem against the grey background. Beautiful lily shot, my friend! Cheers! Chris

Thanks Chris, I really do appreciate it when folks are specific about what they like or don't like, it really helps one to improve.

very nice!

Another lovely image from the collection of David Dube. When I first saw this one I thought there was too much empty space to the left, but on looking again I think that empty space actually gives the image more of a sense of balance. I just went through your garden in your portfolio, I could not help but notice that you have no images in your garden with a black background. Some images really suit black, but most of the time people use it as a easy way out rather than create there own. Well done Dave!

Roger, again ~ Thank you for your time and comment.

No way, on this green earth am I going to create a black background/backdrop for my flowers. I have an image that I took 2 days ago specifically for Corel Painter. The backdrop was under a heavy Doug Fir canopy and is near black. The purpose was for Painter and mostly a blank slate. Nothing artificial, just the real Bokeh.

Fantastic dof and lovely bokeh!

beautiful image, good dof and color

Very nice color and detail, great shot.I'm not crazy about artificial backgrounds, I'd rather try to place it in a interesting setting. db
