Impatiens

A simple photo of a commonly found flower. I liked the contrast between deep pinks and light pinks here. This was growing in flat to the ground orientation, so I shot it in landscape orientation and then flipped it vertical for presentation.

ND300s, AFD200mm Micronikkor with 36mm Tubes @ F/16, 1/100 Sec, ISO400, Tripod and Natural overcast lighting. Magnification was 1:1 or there about.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Rose and let me know what you think of this one.

Never would have guessed this is an impatient, and I have them growing all around my yard. Beautiful composed close up with nice lines and color. :toast:

Alright already. These types of shots never work out for me, but you nail them EVERY time. This is a very sweet & unusual perspective of an impatiens!

Very interesting Ram. I love the color and the velvety smooth look to the petals. I never knew exactly what an impatien looked like.

This look so pristine, Ram. Great presentation and lovely color. You nailed the focus point as surely as always.

Just top notch, Ram ! A superbly handled move from soft to sharp, a fine comp and lovely colouring. The vertical tilt looks like it is the way to go on this one.

Love the sense of gentleness with the flower nestled in a pink blanket. Terrific!

Superb, Ram! I see why you were attracted to the contrasting "pinks". Very detailed and sharp at the
central subject.
