cosmos

Andrew-Bede Allsop challenged me to explore the concept of negative space in my composition. I tried this with my nifty fifty to get more negative space, but I really love my macro lens for flowers. Still, I think I incorporated some lovely, soft negative space to set off the bloom.

Andrew-Bede @allsop ... I tried some things this morning that just didn't work. Came home and found a new color of cosmos blooming. I love shooting flowers, and I like how the negative space I hope I incoporated really sets off the bloom.

Well, I think it is terrific and I love the colour of the cosmos against the background

It's gorgeous, and the bokeh is beautiful, too!

Hi April, how about fabric this week? thinking about rumpled sheets looking like mountains or closeups of fancy finery .

It looks like they're talking to each other.

They definitely are having a conversation, fav.

I think you did a very nice job of focusing to get the soft negative space.
