Really found it an interesting exercise to try and get a photo of this that I would be happy with. I tried over several days, several times of day, different flowers in different gardens, angles. But with the nifty fifty sooc rules I have settled on this one but it isn't the result I really was aiming for. There is a lot to learn!
These flowers are difficult to capture perfectly when still attached to the plant. You have done well with the limitations of nifty fifty and sooc. And it is clearly still growing and not posing indoors for you. What a perfect specimen this one is
BoP always a fav for me. It was a ritual to go to the florist weekly to purchase these lovely stalks - the florist finaly asked what I do with them - I would place them at parents grave as these were my dads favorites and now they were together :) Love these and the capture got the beautiful colors nicely!
Usually violet flowers have touches of orange. This one looks more orange with touches of violet. So awesome!
