Flame Lilly

A weed that grew itself in the atrium and rewarded me with a unique

colorful flower. Decided to use normal lens instead of macro/tele.

Took it at night, Nikkor 50mm @F10, ISO 100, center weighted. Used a

slave SB600 with Gery Fong diffuser. Taken RAW and adjusted in CS3.

Resized in Picasa. What do you think?

Beautiful capture! 7/7a. Best regards.

Atractive capture

Linh and Ali thanks for giving me your time to look at my post and taking time to write your encouraging comment that I greatly value. Regards ifti

very nice shot..nice colours:congrat

Ifti - this is beautiful. It is visually striking and a bold original composition. AT first glance it almost looks computer generated, and then it hits you with a wow! Very well done.

Muy buena composicion y colores. Efectivamente parecen llamas incluso en el color. Saludos.

Nazif, Sekhar and Gallego Thanks for giving me your time your encouraging comments. Best regards ifti

Good to hear from you, Ifti....thanks for your rating on my 'Slate Blue' photo. This is a very beautiful capture of a most unusual flower (or as you say, weed). All I can say is that I wish I had weeds this pretty in my garden. Bravo!

fine work, uncomplicated and to the point.

Very interesting and fun to view, Ifti. I love how nature can excite us, even with weeds. Well seen.

Interesting image ... great sharpness and I really like how it leaps out of the black background.

What an amazing shoot.. The details are fantastic.. Colors and light are also perfect.. Splendid shoot...

 

Best Regards, Jill

What do I think - well, fantastic. Just a one word description that suits this photo. Taha

I love the movement in this image, the composition and the sweetness of the stamens around the stem. Beautiful Iftikhar!

You've no new posts since my last visit so I had to go digging through your portfolio.  Glad I did.  Your combination of black background and  strong but diffused light here works to produce a stunning graphic image.  That there is beauty even in weeds is well displayed here.  I don't think you could have framed it any better and the colours are gorgeous.  Wishing you good fortune in the new year.  Looking forward to more interaction.  See you on the other side.   Best, LM.

Hi dear Ifti,

This is a great shot with nice colour tones and unique view!

Wish you and your family a great X-mass!

Best regards(Bobby).
