Hi Pako,
That's a beautiful 2008 lotus flower.
Soft colours and nice reflection on the water. I like the use of the DoF as well.
Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Pako,
That was beautiful. I too love the reflection of the flower in foreground. Would a cropping of OOF flower increase the impact?

Re: Flowers (not 2010)

Re: Flowers (not 2010)
Two great flower pictures.
Pako, I especially like the reflection in the water.
Sury, great backlighting.

Re: Flowers (not 2010)
Vey nice Lotus Pako, I tend to agree with Sury, when you scroll the oof one out of view it looks better I think.
Good available light shot there Sury, and the violet 'hibiscusy' looking one is splendid...although I think I'd prefer the missing piece of petal at the top being there.

Re: Flowers (not 2010)
Greg,
Thank you. The missing petal is there. It was bent in such a way you see a reddish purple profile of it.
Your comment about the negative space that bent created is a valid one. I could have claimed to keep
the natural look untouched
but honestly I did not pay attention to that aspect. I will keep that in mind
in future.
With best regards,
Sury

I understand what you mean. The first waterlily stand by herself, and the reflection in the water help. But I do like the repetition of forms and perspective the flower in the background suggest.
Regards
Pako

Well, if you put it that way, then it should stay that way....

Hi Yildiz, nice to see the cactus again - it is obviously thriving. Did you mean to put it in the "not 2010" thread?

Re: Flowers (not 2010)
January 2009 - I had rented the A900 from Adorama rentals department. I don't recall if I took this picture with the Sony 70-200 f2.8 or the Tamron 70-200 f2.8.
