"Dream Weaver" (Azalea)

So why did I pick this caption? Don't rightly know;just seemed to
correlate well with my composition. Azaleas are quite 'photo favorable.' Taken with Canon FTB and normal lens- Kodachrome ISO 64.

Rich color palette Jeff. I'm having a little trouble relating toe the shapes or finding a pattern in the composition. I think I probably need a little more dof in this but that's not unusual for me. See how the others react to the image.

There is a dream-like quality to this image, very subjective, I think. The colors are excellent,

Hi Jeff,

Lovely color palette. Makes me want to see more of this flower. To my mind's eye, it's difficult to tell what I'm looking at.

Hi Carol H., I must confess- there's a little trickery at play here. The shallow depth of field
was put there purposely to spike the imagination of your 'mind's-eye'.. ha!

Best, Jeff W.

Jeff: Nice colors. Would still like to see your posts bigger and the black frame merges too much with the image borders. >=))>

Hi Jeff. I like the concept here. I think it could be better appreciated with a better BG. As Bill says the black merges too much into the photo. If youre posting on a black BG, try stroking a thin white line around your photo or a black line for a white BG.
