Field flower

Gallery: FloraPosted October 10, 20162,135 views8 comments

The broomrape the beans (Orobanche crenata) grows only in the fields, has very small flowers, no leaves and roots because it is a plant pest. For these reasons it is so little known but people that stoop for observing it can admire very nice flowers.

D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/19 and ISO 250 - back lit with a reflector disk in front.

Thanks for your opinions and suggestions.

Hi Gigi,

I like the presentation and there's enough difference in the light tones of the flower and the BG so that the subject shows up very well. It is very artistic and has that graphic quality that appeals to me. Well done.......................Jim

Beautiful, Gigi. I don't know what you do to get this "illustration" effect, but I like it a lot. It must be the lighting you used-I'll have to play with it.
