Close my eyes and oh the scent! by joansmor

Close my eyes and oh the scent!

I went in search again today for a photograph. Seems like the flowers catch my attention. In the middle of the day the ocean view pictures don't usually work. Now tell me, do you agree with my choice. I have pictures of a limb of flowers by itself but this with the dof blurring the ones in the background be spoke of the abundance of these flowers. And for the bee lovers look close because there are a few in this frame.
Beautiful colourful flower photo! The bright midday sun is no problem for this shot. I like the pink ones in the background, even if up close they're not that 'pretty'.

A lovely shot, you can almost smell the scent.

I love these flowers and think your settings for this shot were well chosen. Great dof and I like the bit of blue sky in the background adding contrast. Also like the hint of pink on some of the petals. Well captured.

@barbarajdonnellan Oh yeah, I love the blue sky. Too many cloudy days last winter. Thanks

Great shot and composition. I bet it smells wonderful, it just looks like such a fragrant bunch of flowers.

@lynnilou After getting my hair cut I'm heading to the mall for some items I need. If you are right by your computer - got any suggestions for a pic. Might come back along the coast if we have time. But definitely the mall.

A big fave for me, great choice. You are right about the lighting during the middle of the day. I think this is a great choice as the lighting really catches the petals, it looks fantastic.

@joansmor Take a few photos at the salon! Interesting shampoo bottles or the different brushes..... :)

@joansmor of a few photos of your reflections in the mirror!

Very nice, yup he is in your pic too. Lovely shot.

Very pretty, I love all the different textures and the bokeh is awesome :)
August 27th, 2014  
Great claity and focus!

I see the bee and maybe one more, hidden deep inside the lovely flowers. Love the bokeh.
Did you know that if you pick a bouquet and just stick it in a glass, without water, it will dry very nicely?

Great picture with these areas. Great shot.

So pretty and bursting with spring/summer feeling. Lovely dof Joan. All the best to you.

Very nice! It took my breath away when scrolling down on it but that background is so busy. There is so much to look at my eyes keep dancing over it. Wish I could smell it! must be awesome.

Does show better on the black though.

Yes, definitely a great DoF choice. It allows me to focus on something of interest but easily conveys the rich array of flowers around it.
August 27th, 2014  
I can imagine the smell :-)
August 27th, 2014  
Lovely bright capture.
August 27th, 2014

Fabulous shot Joan - it just typifies Summer! Great DOF and a definite FAV!
