Camelia Twins

Found these Camelia in prime condition in Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle, a couple of days ago.

GH3, Lumix G Vario 35-100/2.8 @ 100. Tripod, cpl. Couldn't quite control all the glare from the leaves so gave them the "healing brush" treatment.

Happy Easter to all here!

Beautiful blossoms. I really like the depth shown in this, via the dark OOF and shadowy areas. So many photogs want the background to be nonexistent. Bill's phrase "supporting cast" is an appropriate one. Glad you did this!

Lovely, Catherine. Nicely composed. The camelia blooms are beautiful against the green bg/leaves. My only suggestion would have been to move the leaf coming into the frame from the left near the upper flower out of the frame.
