White Ratany

I took this last year in the heat of the arizona noon day sun.
The flowers are about a 1/2 inch and were growing along a wash. The dirt was on the reddish side hence the BG color.

Diffuser panel
stack of 27

Well seen and expertly stacked and processed, Eirini! I miss the dark side, though... :cool:

Love the rhythms of this plant, Eirini - you've captured them beautifully, and the detail on the buds. The colours look delightful on this background - a lovely image !

Eirini:

Very beautiful. I like how the flowers flaunt their curves :biggrin:. Excellent DOF from the stack and the bg is fitting.

Eirini: A new flower for me so thanks very much. Superbly crafted image IMO and the BG is the perfect complement. >=))>

A flower I've never seen, so I appreciate the detail as well as the presentation. A beauty for sure.
