Mosaic Plant with Repost

Gallery: FloraPosted August 27, 2008902 views21 comments

I was standing over the edge of the pool, shooting straight down at this aquatic plant handheld, hence a wider aperture and hence there's a little softness in the ULC. I thought I was parallel enough but I guess not.

This is lovely, Michael. I love the repeating pattern, the well placed colored plants and the depth is excellent also. I love this!

I like it. Very cool. When you say "aquatic plant", do you mean this is one single plant? Anyway, great image.

Great shot Michael. The colors and pattern in this are really nice. I would think we could forgive the slight softness in the ULC.

Mike, Jaw Dropper and an Absolute Stunner

. I have seen similar aquatic plants in tropical regions but never this kind of color combinations.

I love the lines and the subtle variations of color Michael. I had not noticed the softness in the ULC as it is fairly subtle.

What a beauty Michael, I love it! Mosaic is the right name for the perfect geometries and the vibrant colors. I have never seen before this splendid plant. Thanks for sharing. Michael, the softness is so small, are you sure that there isn't a way for improving it? Otherwise, the image is so splendid that I would ruther cut the upper part with the softness. Just my personal opinion.
Cheers.

Thanks to all for the comments. I've added a shot out across the water to better show the plant. It is a member of the evening primrose family. The water is dyed dark.
