I think one word would cover it 'stunning'.

ta ta for now,

bu**er... and on the day that I choose to shoot some flowers as well...

What makes it worse is that I noticed that my little local shop was selling sunflower this morning and thought - "I should buy some of those just to take a photo"... Needless to say I didn't

Excellent photo Chris...

Chris

Have you filtered this (the centre seems a strange colour)? I like the effect.

Peter - the short answer is yes but I can’t remember which one of the hundreds I have - must start filling in the IPTC data

Leek - your pics were great. I would recommend a book called Grandiflora by Gary Heery - it is full of great ideas on photographing flowers.

I really like this shot, Chris. Simple and effective.

Can you tell us a little about the lighting?
Would be very interested to know.

Hi Steve

From what I remember of this shot it was taken in partial shade on a blue background for an ad.

What I have done with this pic is to deep etch the actual flower and put the black background in to highlight it. There was some PP but can’t really remember what I did :oops:

The flower seems to just about jump out at me... Very striking...
