[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I seem to have taken alot of garden macro shots recently, and this is the latest. I am reliably informed that these are known as bleeding hearts, ironically enough... What they're true name is I don't know, so anyone better versed in horticulture, please enlighten me.
I wanted to capture a row of these hearts and I used a large aperture to through the foreground and background out of focus, and give a sense of depth. The composition was a little difficult, and I'm not sure I'm 100% satisfied with it. I've adjusted levels very slightly, but I like the intesity of the colours anyway.
