Azaleas

This is from the botanic garden last May. I often have difficulty finding a good comp for groups of flowers, but I like the way this one turned out.

Canon 60D, f/16, 1/60 sec., ISO 200, 80 mm focal length.

I agree these are so difficult to compose, Barb, and I think you've done a nice job here. The light is perfect, and the flecks of greenery add to the scene; I also like the sharpness throughout the depth of the image, contributing to the sense of pattern.

Very pretty. . .love the color of the flowers. I like how the sun is shining on the top left area and the rest seems to thus be in bright shade. Great details throughout and nice comp you found. :smile:

Barb: Frame filling fantastic. I find azaleas tough to compose which is aggravating to me since we have lots of them all over our garden. I think you did great here. Bravo. >=))>

Can't beat a well filled frame of beautiful azaleas. The choice of DOF is just right! :smile: :toast:
