Calla Lily II

Gallery: FloraPosted June 21, 201186 views16 comments

Another shot of the same Calla Lily as my previous post. Shot in my basement in my studio setup with a little different perspective and BG.

Pentax K-7; f/22, 5.0 sec, ISO-200; Tamron 90mm macro.

Thanks for taking the time to look, C&C appreciated.

Flute pattern is much more beautiful here than the previous one - separation due to the angle of the shoot makes a difference. Subdued lighting has created more vibrant colors compared to the previous one. If last one was Grade A, this one is AAA++

My Calla plant is coming up fast - it should have this very same color or may be a bit darker.

Uh-oh. Pat's gonna be mad. I think he is still looking for the perfect calla, and YOU found it!

Delightful - graceful lines, perfect perspective, great BG and frame.

Derek,

I think this is about as close to perfect as we're going to get inside of Plato's cave. Exceptionally fine work for my tastes.

Sandy,

You're right. I'm mad.

Derek:
Like this one more that the previous. The POV here shows the curves better and more sensual. The black bg seems to suit this color more. Just fabulous.

Perfect in all respects. I was going to post a calla, but I think I'll wait awhile.

The perspective is wonderful in this! Beautiful lighting and the choice of using a black background really accentuates the textures. Well done.
