Grevillea

...in a high key style for the get pushed challenge.

I was challenged to take a photo of a subject in a high key style. As I don't have any studio lights, chose a bright spot and held a desk lamp in one hand to eliminate shadows, and took photographs with the other.

@jantan challenge complete

[Allison Maltese]

I love this! What is that great background?

[Lyn]

very different view from other Grevillea shots I've seen here. . .the detail is wonderful and the background is really fine.

[Simply Amanda]

Well done, Peter. Is the background a painting of yours? Love it. Way to get pushed and push back!

[Maggiemae]

No shadows here so well done!

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Nice job, Peter.

[☠northy]

nicely done... really like the backdrop... the interesting thing i find about the get pushed challenge is that it made me realize that i can usually tell who the photog was from the shot... because when it's a pushed photo, i all of a sudden realize that i can't!!!

[Kelly]

[Jim]

I really like your interpretation of the challenge Peter. The colours are great and I love the background. Very different to any of the other work that I have seen of yours. Must say, I found the challenge much more difficult than I thought I was going to.

Cool. Love the painting too. Definitely different for you. ;-)
