Cosmic Cramming 3

Gallery: FloraPosted July 27, 2012296 views18 comments

Hi all.

This is my third and final shot that I plan to post of the cosmo that I crammed with the other day. I shot this the day after the last shot that I posted. I liked being able to see the center of both of the blooms - I felt that it gave the shot a different feel.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

I like how the bloom is supported by the soft white Nathan. Very well done in my opinion.

This is my favorite in the series. I particularly like the splashes of yellow and their vertical alignment with one another.

I love the open petals, the depth of field, and the color combination. Really well composed, too.
All three of them are beautiful, Nathan. I think that I like this one the best, because of composition, and the look at the center of the bloom.

Another vote for this as the best of the three. I like the exposed center and the slightly greater DOF. Really outstanding, Nathan.

Hi Nathan

A great series, but i like this one the best! That extra bit of detail in the center of the bloom,and the BG colors, makes this an exceptional image

I love how you can just barely see the sharp center of the flower, still, I think I like your first post better. I find the background slightly overpowering with the strong purple diagonal line & the white blotch at the top left, but that is just my opinion! I think I would like this better if it was cropped a tiny bit off of the top.

Delicate and beautiful, Nathan, with your signature. A flower sank in a cloud of colors.
We are on holidays.
Cheers.

Congratulations on the WP! I cannot decide if I like this one or #1 from the series better. Each has their points and both are very nice.
