White Nirvana

Gallery: FloraPosted July 8, 2012279 views24 comments

Nikon D300, 150mm, F/13, 1/160, ISO 400.

One of Monet's paintings " Yellow Nirvana" inspired the title and the composition. My work is so simple compared to Monet's, but I hope that it still brings joy to the viewer. the flowers are white petunias. Comments appreciated.

Frame filling beauty and for the limited DOF you had to work with I think you placed the point of focus where it should be.

Albert - Frame filling good. I don't have any suggestions. This is just excellent as posted. Makes me want to shoot one frame like this when I come across a bunch of Petunias.

Albert:
Fabulous image. One flower for each day of the week. Although this is good as posted, I kind of like to see all the centers sharp and it would be a good candidate for stacking.

Wall to wall fantastic Albert. I'd have this printed as big as possible and hung were everyone can enjoy it. Superb comp.
