Week #1 - Red Camellia
by Dale R. Palmer

This is a great time of year for camellias in my part of the country. This one is on a tree in a recently cleared out trailer park. It is a beautiful large bush/tree.

Nikon COOLPIX P900
1/200s f/6.3 at 321.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I like the leaves that jut down from the top as they give it context and IMHO help to frame the photo.

Dale, the red camellia is quite beautiful. Can even see pollen and water drops on it.

I like the colors and the DOF. The leaves at the top are a bit distracting to my eye, but that could just be me.

Dale, if this plant continues to flower right for you, I would like to see you get a shot without the distraction of the leaves jutting into the pretty bloom. Otherwise, your composition and DOF and lighting are quite nice with the P900. The leaves at the top (sometimes avoidable with a specific bloom) are a bit too distracting for me & take away from your image.

Beautiful colors, composition and bokeh, Dale. It will still be awhile until we have such pretty blossoms where I am! ;)
