Toying Around

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted October 20, 2013237 views12 comments

Folks,

Sometimes I find myself rusty with my composition, and my abstact frames. For some reason I drifted off my abstracts. Keeping this in mind, I decided to get back to my old ways, irrespective of what the outcome was... and Here is one of them. The cloudy conditions, kept the dragon fly in its place and popped up the colors a tad bit.

7D, 70-200 with extn, and ISo 800, 1/40 F8

Thanks NPN for your support

Cool, creative image, Balan. I wish the upper left wing was also in focus, but I am just being picky. Great shot as is!

Very interesting combination of colors and color pattern. Almost surreal. Sharp details in the DF body and head.

The colors are great and I do enjoy the nice tight view of the df. This is a joy to look at.

Very creative vision, Balan ! There's a little softness here and there but not really a problem - the great thing is the intriguing colour palette which is truly enticing to the eye.
