good lighting, color and contrast. What plant is this?

does this picture make you dizzy?

Victor:

 

It was taken in the Caribbean (St. Martin - a French Colony in the south-easter Caribbean)

 

I was told that they are natives of SE Asia, but that they had been imported there - the picture was taken at a butterfly farm

 

I believe that this is specifically the Idea leuconoe chersonesia (Mangrove Tree Nymph) which is sometimes found in Singapore / Malaysia. I am told it is relatively rare, especially in Singapore.

What do you think?

Reminds me of the Greek god Pan with one of his nymphs.

 

Fantastic.

Looking for reactions on composition, technique. Thanks in advance.

 

Technical: no post-processing - this is directly from a drum-scan of

the original slide. Very slight lens-tilt & Swing to manipulate the

plane of focus. The colors are quite natural. However, I used about

10 polaroids before getting everything (light, focus, DOF) like you

see it. Any suggestions to make this process more reliable (read

cheaper) are welcome.

 

I had this printed in 40x50 on Fuji Crystal and in that size hanging

on the wall, it does excite some comment.

Noce colors and selective focus

Lovely shot. I would try and crop the bottom half or 1/3

Circle the wagons!

Amazingly beautiful view. Is the blue from copper sulfite?

Very dramatic

Joli contraste des couleurs.

This is, of course, a matter of individual tastes, but I think the colors are just right and a polarizer might have been overkill.

 

I like the composition and the clean lines and the texture adding depth.

Love the composition. Nice stitching job too

Love the color contrast

Very, very original

Stunning

Very nice composition!

I like this shot, but then I am biased. Sometimes I look at it and I

feel that the colors look fake. They are not - I didn't even use a

polarizer, and there is no jiggery - pokery post-processing in

photoshop - except for the inevitable spotting.

 

Your input is appreciated

good caption - the picture really caught my eye.

This was a fleeting moment - the light lasted for about 30 seconds,

and this is the best of the shots. What do you think of the crop, etc?

Comments are welcome.

Scene around Times-Square, NYC late afternoon.

If this is your first try at night photography, then I am pretty impressed. The composition and the colors work for me. The blurred leaves add rather than subtract from the picture - maybe giving it a slightly surreal tint.

I like it - composition, lighting, timing.

I like it. I'd call it "Schroedinger's Apple" - overlap of two distinct quantum states ...

 

I'm also wondering how to make the two apples overlap 100% ... register pins maybe ?
