Celestial Milkweed

Gallery: FloraPosted November 30, 2010154 views12 comments

Nikon D300, Sigma 150. F/22, 1/2sec, ISO 200. Mirror up, cable release.

How a background can change the mood of a scene. The milkweed against the black background looks like a celestial body. Comments appreciated.

Albert, I really like the light for this image. Great detail and comp. I think the name of this celestial being is called the Milky Way!

Albert, A fast two cents before I shut down the system. This is the best of the series so far. And yes, colors and backgrounds do change the mood.

Cheers,

Carol

Flat out awesome, Albert. The textures and details along with the lighting is superb and i love the white of the milkweed against the black BG.
