Pontinha Beach, Araruama, Rio de Janeiro

This flower is not the most beautiful one.I liked the whole composition.
I was trying to shoot a flower through this point of view that I consider one of the most interesting. So I almost lay down on the sidewalk and start to shoot.
I took several pics when I saw this one.

Clear blue sky, yellow petals and sun's rays crossing it with it's colors.
Maybe a different crop could be done. I don't know. I didn't want to lose anything of this photo.

Hope you enjoy it. It's just the beginning...Just the first one.

Wow, great pov...composition, colour and lighting are wonderful. The white of the flowers against the beautiful blue of the sky is very appealing...
Thanks for sharing,
Liz

WOW! .

The sun's rays are piercing thru the flower petals!!! What a terrific composition, Alex. Lying on the sidewalk was definitely worth it for an outstanding capture such as this....:O)

Wonderful pov.
It a great job. I like the way the sun is choosing one flower...

Muito bom Van!
Sem comentários! você realmente sabe trabalhar esse estilo. As cores, o enquadramento, os raios do sol projetados sobre as flores... tudo perfeito!
Ainda "pego o jeito".
Valeu amigo!
David.
