Erythrina herbacea

[Peter M. Noyes]

Thes showy semi-herbaceous member of the Fabaceae (Bean) family is called a Coral Bean, Cherokee Bean and other things. It is found in the Soputheastern part of our country. I found this seed at the Audobon Nature Area on Hilton Head island in SC.

Interesting use of depth of field. I would go back on the reds in Hue/Saturation to let more detail show through on the beans. You could loose an inch to the right if you wanted.

Peter,

I am with Fabs on this one. Soft BG doesn't compete with the seeds. The one seed on the upper left; clone out the hot spot. Thanks.
