3 April

I had a little difficulty taking a shot of this gerbera as it is a plant and not a single flower.
I couldn't separate one flower to get the close up I wanted.
I tried different apertures and different DOF but in the end preferred this one where it's all in focus.
I've never been one for plants but since starting PaD I'm getting really into it.
Even bought a small watering can and some plant food today to keep them in tip top condition!

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
2s f/32.0 at 105.0mm ISO 200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Beautiful, Sheena, this has really worked well... the subtle lighting on the backdrop really goes well with the flower

Wonderful composition, great clarity, beautiful color and I like the depth of field. I like taht the whole subject is in focus.
Dawn03-Apr-2005 21:51
Great angle and the blue background really pops the color of the subject out too.
Guest 03-Apr-2005 21:20
Really impressive depth of focus.
Guest 03-Apr-2005 20:46
I think the forward flower adds interest to this very well Sheena.
David Clunas03-Apr-2005 20:31
I like the way the background fades against the flowers highlight, nice one.

Very creative macro. Beautiful work.
John Finlayson03-Apr-2005 20:08
Great shot Sheena, Colours go well and I the bottom flower all in focus works for me !
Gary Hebert03-Apr-2005 20:00
Very creative Sheena, I like it. Works nicely with the bottom one. Without the bottom one more space would be needed on top.

this is a really unusual angle. I like it... voted.

I agree with Sam. Nice composition, and the near flower is a positive factor.
Guest 03-Apr-2005 19:07

Guest 03-Apr-2005 19:06
This is a beautiful composition and I think the second flower adds to the picture.
