A photo I made in the fall in 2011. Background is all different colored Begonias.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/8, 1/160 Sec, ISO200, Diffuser, Plamp and perhaps stacked in PS-CS5.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

It's hard for me to image a finer floral image. IMO, this is perfectly crafted in every detail.

Oh Ram this is lovely! I love everything about this; wonderful clarity in the flowers, great comp, and the background is stunning with its beautiful blurred colors.

Masterful and gorgeous, Ram. Perfectly composed to set off the BES pair against that fabulous BG. This should be Exhibit A for how to shoot artistic floral images. :toast:

Very fine image. I really like the sharpness of the flowers. The colors in the background really ad to the image and the comp. works really well.

Great use of color in the BG Ram. The point of focus and DOF works really well. Nice, nice shot.
