06-NOV-2015 Vern Rogers (fotabug fotos)

Extreme Backlight

At times, it is good to play with the qualities of light, such as its direction. Here, intensifying high contrast by seeking a dark background (a shaded area) made the spots of color pop, and creates a more pleasing image (to me anyway) than just an ordinary shot of this weed.

The only thing I would like to change is to fill more of the left side of the frame with the plant, but I had already finished with it and didn't feel like going back. So you get it the way it is! :)

Think of it as a wildflower, it makes it seem even prettier. Very nice idea and effect.

It is great as it is Vern, the empty space accentuates the color and light of the flowers. V

It's like it's emitting its own light! Beautiful.

Totally cool treatment to this subject. And, I like the "empty" color space on the left.

The empty stark black background to the left enhances the
simplicity of the composition imho, Vern!
