I think this is an incredible image. I'm not sure what produced the background here . . . it's almost as if you shot this inside of a green tunnel . . . but whatever the cause, the effect is quite remarkable. I do slightly wish that the bloom was turned toward the camera a bit, but the image is nonetheless very effective.

A flower in a foreboding environment! The bg effect is very well done. Like to hear how this is created.

Thank you for your comments. This is shot with Tamron 70-200 at 200 mm and f/2,8. Thats all it takes to get this great effect, and of course good light. I hope you understand my bad english.

Nice and moody Andreas. The shallow DOF makes the picture and the Herb Robert is well placed. Maybe a little more light on the main subject would improve the overall impression slightly. :toast:

That's a very nice effect you've captured here Andreas.If you had a bit more light on the flower then that would have been perfect. Graham

Awesome shot....one of the most unique captures of an Herb Roberts that I've seen. Excellent use of some nice backlight. Well done.
