I kind of like this image and the reason is the light balance. There is a good deapth in the petals due to the shadows and thats the key I see. Good job.
Hi David. I love the variations of the light on this beautiful blossom. The color is very intense both in the petals and in the center. You did a good job of keeping the background quieter in color so the flower itself is accentuated. Thanks ;~)
"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."- "I wish the Ring had never come to me.
I wish none of this had happened..." "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."-Gandalf
It really is a photo. The first moment I saw this I thought it was a computer manipulation. But this truely is a flower so intense in colours, so juicy and without the slightest imperfection. Unbelievable.
What a beautiful flower....you have most definatly done this justice.
Such clear and radiant colours and perfect light.
I will be adding this to my favourites...thanks.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>
