Jimson Weed by Eric Hatch*

This is one tough plant. Highly toxic. I found it growing out of the crack between an asphalt parking lot and a concrete retaining wall at 7:55 AM this morning. Macro, manual, f6.5, 1/640 and fill flash to knock out most of the hideous background and a radial gradient to hide the rest.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent detail in the shot. The gradient for the background works well.

Eric, the radial color gradient simplifies the composition, compliments the circular shape of the flower, & provides effective background contrast. The flower itself has really nice exposure and detail. Nicely done. MFC

Great job with the background, it looks very cool now. Great detailing in the flower. Vikas
