Wild theme - Acaule

Gallery: FloraPosted May 26, 201089 views11 comments

There have been a number of cypripedium acaule shots shown lately, here's my interpretation.
Shot taken with a Canon 40d and a lensbaby 3g f4. The lensbaby is one of my favorite lens for floral. Although you wouldn't know that by the previous posts... but that should change going forward.

Wonderful light and color. Love the moody feel of this. Terrific capture.

Bob: I like the color and light here especially. I'm not sure about the LB on this one. It may need to grow on me. >=))>

I love the image but looks a little dark on my laptop?I think if you could selectively lighten the flower it could be stronger, maybe? My humble opinion I like the selective focus

Nice work with the lensbaby. I like the selective blur. Sweet image.

Hey Bob, not a big lensbaby fan here, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I really like the upper part of the flower that is in focus, and I like the overall dark mood of the image. The lower blurred part however, is just not working for me.
