. . . . . .

I don't know the name of this little flower (0.5 inch diameter), but people around told me it is firework flower . . I check on wikipedia, can't find it . .

1. Found this flower at not-well-maintained garden around the house

2. Cloudy day, so I set ISO 800, with aperture f/16 and speed 1/125 sec, and I believe it is sufficient

3. Compose by putting the flower on the left below (my preference) and vertical format (During the shoot)

4. Crop slightly at the above part (Using Aperture 2.1), to make it square

5. Add frame using PhotoFramer (Windows XP)

6. Resize to fit the requirements (Aperture 2.1)

Hope you like it and thank you for viewing it.

Cheers,
Tjutjut

Hi Tjutjut

Another superb floral macro. I like the shallow dof & superb colour contrast between the purple, & the green. Tfs. Indah sekali!

Excellent work Tjutjut!

Tjutjut,
It looks like a flower of a common weed but you made it so appealing with your macro. I like the dark blurred background that only emphasizes the pink flower. Regards. latiff.

Bonjour Tjutjut,
An astonishing flower like only nature dares to conceive it.
Subtle colors, cheer for the details. Surprising dyed for the heart which gives really the perfect illusion of a fireworks.

Wow, Tjutjut this is excellent. I just love everything about it, how sharp the petals are the way you have composed it, the colour and the DOF. It does indeed look like a fire works. Beautiful.
Warm Regards

Wonderful Macro - isn't amazing what nature can do. Fireworks flower is a perfect name to this darling - BG well done - provides wonderful contrast.

Yep it's good, sharpness is just where it should be - in the heart of the flower. Not an easy point to focus on, either!
Good saturation, your usual nice work.
