Indian Paintbrush

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image at Utah Wetlands preserve, LeBaron Point on a cloudy overcast day.

I saw this patch of flowers and the orange colors really attracted me.


Nikon D850, 24-120 f/4 at 58mm
ISO 640, f/4, 1/320 sec
Manual Mode, Matrix Metering


Cloned out couple of while twigs in the image.

Hope you like it.

Thanks
Krishna

They would have attracted me too Krishna!
I like the overall impression given, it is very eye catching. I would suggest the prominent flower head be placed just a little more to the left of the frame. f4 has provided you with a nicely blurred background, a smaller aperture would have curse provided more in depth focus on the flower head but the background would have become more intrusive but then you always have the option of introducing little blur.

I absolutely love these colors Krishna. While I agree with Jon about the position of the subject, I also see a cetain overall balance of color based on what you did here. I think I get why you framed it as such.

The colors work very well here and the shallow focus. Well done.
