Hibiscus

Planted a couple hibiscus bushes, and have been shooting this yellow one a lot lately.
This is a 4 image stack shot in my garage against the open door, which provided ample backlighting.

Hi Wayne, Great stacking and lovely colors.

Nice abstract. And like the fluted edge of the closest petal.

Good job,

Carol

Nice colors and lighting. I'm trying to decide whether I like the llc brown part or not. Either way, this is nice.

Great use of the backlighting. I think I would have liked a little more of the leaf in the LLC, or maybe none at all.

Wayne, I looked at this for a while now and I find that this might look excellent just as a study in light, lines and colors. I am not fully decided but I think flipping this vertical and losing the dark thing in the LLC might make it a better composition and appealing to me

I don't have a decent 'extract' shot from a Hibiscus Wayne. This is really nicely done.

Love the color, back light and composition Wayne. I might bring a little more light into the lower left corner but would need to see it to know for sure.

I think Ram has an interesting idea on the 90 degree rotation.

Very fine image as posted.

Love the gradient (radial and otherwise) of colors, Wayne, and the dof- that you left in some softness. N-I-C-E!
