Sumac

[Mike Moats]

Got a chance to get out this morning and shoot the sumac which are looking great this year, really nice color. Moved out of my comfort zone and into the shallow end for a few images.:D

Sorry for the lack of comments of late, been out of town for art shows and will be leaving Thursday for a workshop for six days, so I'll be back online next week.

Everyones images are looking great, I've seen a great improvment in the last year.

Fuji S5, Sigma 180, tripod, natural light, f/3.5 1/30sec

Really like the composition here Mike with all the sweeping curves and subdued colors. Nicely seen and shot at 3.5!:eek:

What an unusual composition. The shallow DOF makes this one for me. The colors are great too.

Hi Mike. Quite unusual and very artistic. Great use of dof and I also love the curves.:)

[Don Lacy]

lovely colors Mike and the sweeping curves give a nice flow to the comp.
