Backlight

Gallery: FloraPosted July 15, 2010249 views19 comments

I was returning disgruntled from a dawn photo session not having found any bugs, but then spotted this... The backlighting was alluring, particularly how the last trace separated the stem from the BG. I did wonder if a square crop would suit this, but think this works better?

As always appreciate your thoughts.

I like this photo Debashis, I particularly like the way the black background makes the flower pop out, almost like 3D. I might like slightly more room at the top, but that is just my opinion.

Good dof, comp, and background to show off the backlighting. Nice shot.

Hi Debashis

A very creative composition.!! It reminds me of fireworks exploding in air.

The light and lines are astounding

Really nice capture, Debashis. I love the backlighting and the way it pops against the black background.

Debashis:
Good of you to spot and capture this. The lighting really this makes this image special and nicely set off by the black BG.

No way to be disgruntled about this image from that day, Debashis! No bugs, but wow, what a portrait of the Cow Parsnip! And you got the EP for it, too. Hope that more than makes up for not gettin' a bug!
