I loved the color contrasts of the deep burgundy center with the rich purple petals. The curled petals allowed for a pretty "lightening" of the edges as it opens. It's like a big stre~~tch at the start of a morning.
Michael... We need to talk, at this point with your collection of work you have amassed on 365Project, you need to remove the word Armature from your profile and possibly replace it with Natural Professional. Your work is breathtaking and inspiring. I look forward every day to what your going to put up next... Oh by the amazing photo of the day... the way you have framed the flower with the black edges makes the purple pedals float in air, having the DoF on red center just adds to the illusion of a super naturalness. Focus is perfect. I would print this and put it on display it is so beautiful. Bravo!
@digitalrn thanks for noticing the lighting. At the time it seemed like it was working in my favor. It was a quick shot while the kids and wife were away.
@anthalas Ian, you've made my day with your enthusiastic comment. Big smile from my. Thanks for taking the time to write. Comments like yours help me to find the shot when I don't really want to each day.
