Iris Edge

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted April 27, 2012120 views4 comments

Thank you for your kind comments on my last venture in the Macro/Close-up gallery.

Thought I'd see if this image works for you. It is the edge of a petal on a bearded iris.

Full Frame, small levels adjustments.

Techs:
Canon 5D Mark III
100mm f/2.8 macro
ISO 100, 1/15, f/8.0
Touch of fill flash off camera a -3

Thanks for your thoughts.

It's quite an mysterious abstract it made me think about what it might be before I read the description. I like the curves and the softness of the image with just that edge in focus, nice dof and sharpness just where it's needed.

I like the abstract image you have posted. The sharp edge is set off nicely by the OOF BG. I have found the iris flower offers a mulitude of photo challenges., Thanks for posting.

This works well for me because of the detail along the edge of the petal in the center. I agree with the previous commenters that the color and dark BG give this a mysterious feel. Well done.
