Is the only decent word I could think of when I saw this.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

That is one awesome pattern on that white shaft. Nature is great.

Well, Yakim, my friend, you could have titled it "Antherium" and done away with any suspicions.

These are notoriously difficult flowers to shoot so you've done a great job.

My only little nit might be that I would have preferred a little more space at the top of the shot just to give it a little breathing room. Overall, though, I really love it!!

Warmest best wishes,

Endre

I can't think such complicated thoughts when I see this.

I'm blusing.

Now that you say it, I see that you're absolutely right. I'll try to remember this next time. Glad that you liked it even though.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Hi Yakim,

Beautiful image. I love the depth of field. I looks like you have been putting your tilt/shift setup to good use.

Best wishes,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Indeed I try to, but I fear the 100/2.8 IS will put an end to this.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Yakim:

I've looked at this several times. My initial reaction was that the field-of-view was too large to really capture the pattern. But it really is a beautiful composition. I love the "swoosh" of red at bottom right.

Cheers,
Rich

Thank you

but it's really not me. It's all natural lighting.

Great pattern Yakim, and I think quite a good title too, but where's the dog with the collar that let's him talk? (Oh wait, I'm thinking the wrong kind of 'up', aren't I?

)

Good luck!

The dog was there. It was removed by a careful PS surgery.

Happy shooting,

Interesting subject Yakim, it's certainly different! I've never seen anything like it before.

Fantastic texture on the shaft, and colour too.

Best of luck

Many thanks guys. I'm glad that you like it. I too like the colours. That's what grabed my attention in the first place. The rest was just to tilt, compose and get the exposure right. I had to give it EC-2 to avoid overexposure of the shaft. Anyone knows where I can buy more DR?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
