Artist's Comments

A very small flower shot with the help of a sigma 150/2.8 macro lens and kenko extension tubes that helped me get even closer.
I like the shallow DoF on this one. How about you?



I must say THANK YOU to both Paula a.k.a. *Voracious-Vixen for suggesting (please, check out her gallery, you'll surely be amazed), and to ^KevLewis for featuring this as Daily Deviation. :heart: It's hard for me to put it in words how I feel now :D :boogie:

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-09-25

Shallowness blues by ~d-minutiv Comment by *Voracious-Vixen "The shot is immaculately taken with beautiful composition, detail and focus and the contrasting colours are amazing. It makes you have such an appreciation for the beauty of nature, right down to the smallest detail. Very simple yet thoroughly engrossing." (Suggested by ~Voracious-Vixen and Featured by `KevLewis)

The dof is absolutely spot on. As you know macro isnt really my area but I can appreciate great work and this shot is great. The colours too, they perfectly compliment each other. Was that the natural background? Anyway, :+fav: for me. :D
:icond-minutiv:
Thank you John!
The background isn't natural, but it wasn't set up by me. This is a flower from a plant growing in a pot in front of my house, and one of the stems with a little flower extended and fell on a table that served as a background. With a little adjustment of white balance I got this shade of blue as I thought it contrasts to the yellow better than the original green surface.
Thank you again for the :+fav: and the comment mate!
