A portrait

by Giuseppe Guadagno

Gallery: FloraPosted September 2, 20152,215 views7 comments

The portrait of a beautiful flower with all the RGB colors in contrast. It is a spring flower but let us think about the summer and the sun. It shows five concentric circles, the same od the sun, even if the colors are different.

In the greenhouse near home, late afternoon.

D800E, Nikkor 200mm maco - f/16 and ISO 100.

Thanks for your opinions and advices.

I'm fascinated by the design and colors presented here.  The anenomie is a poppy like flower and has the same draw on me but with much more vivid colors.  Nice portrait with fine detail.  I enjoyed being brought back to spring.

Gorgeous anemone, Gigi.  I love the striking colors and the supporting greenery. Excellent POV on this bloom.

Not your usual, but I like it. It is tack sharp, with beautiful colors. The red is a real eyeball burner, yet it has retained detail. The leaves in turn are muted and just as sharp. This is a bold piece of work by an unafraid artist. Good stuff!devil
