Amaryllis

An amaryllis flower that has not much left of blooming I guess.

Still trying to play with lighting, I used a huge book open to reflect flashlight. The speciality here was that I had to hold the camera upside down to be able to direct flash in the desired position. Than I rotated the image back to normal position.

I didn't really mean to put the left side petal in dof too, but I liked it like this after all.

Bg could be more homogene but with the cam in a tricky position and flash direction set it was too much to take more care of.

Lighting is still not absolutely what I wanted but much better than on the first series of frames...

I hope you like it anyway with these mistakes and others you might find.

Best regards,
Andor

Good morning Andor
Its what you like that counts.
I enjoy reading about the trouble you went through to make this shot, as it helps me learn.
I love this shot and its beautiful colors and how you captured the pistils and part of one petal very sharply.

Dot

Wow, wonderful, very sharp. I would have like to have the whole background in green.

Good shot.
