Day 179 - Gerbera

This is in a plant pot in the kitchen. Looks lovely - had to be photographed (at 1 in the morning!). Wife tells me it's a Gerbera - not very good with flora I'm afraid.

This is a actually a four shot focus stack to try and get everything in focus.

Looks best large if you have the inclination.

Fabulous shot, Kev, and a fav from me! Love the focus, the colours, the composition, everything! What focus stacking software do you use?

[JoeBoo]

Nice one! Like the detail here. Fav

[Lee Shirley]

Fine shot

@sturnus Hi Carol, it was PS CS6 using auto-align and auto-blend - it hasn't always worked in the past - but this time it worked a treat.

[Gail]

Gorgeous shot, Kev. I love Gerbera's. Great blending you've done.

Oh, and congrats on reaching your 6 month mark too. :)

[Kev]

@gailmmeek Still technically one shot short :-)

[Gail]

@snaggy Yeah... but let's not get too technical here. hehe

Super! I love gerbera but never seem to find good examples

[Tom]

Nice one Kev. I like the lighting on the petals. Gives a dimension to the different layers (of petals). I too have no idea what a Gerbera is... and i'm coming off the back of 5 days of straight gardening...

Love the stacked up layers of that gorgeous and unusual coral/pink! So soft and pretty! Love the composition too! Fav!

[Cathie]

Lovely shot, Kev! Very pretty!

[Laurie]

Ooo instant fav! Love the color and the lighting! Fantastic composition!

[bardejov]

Very nicely done. I recently watched a tutorial on how to do it. Don't have PS so it will have to wait. Gerberas are one of my favorite flowers.

[Chippy Minton]

Great composition Kev and technically excellent

[Darren Juden]

Lovely!

[Simply Amanda]

Love your composition here. I love these flowers. One of my favorites, too!

[Meg]
