Fall Sumac #2

[Mike Moats]

Here's another from the series of shots of the sumac bush. Visiting the strange world of the shallow depth of field again:D

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

Hi Mike. I like the interplay of light and color. The shallow DOF works well here (I might have to try that sometime - it will be a new experience for me :) ).

[Vida van der Walt]

Hi Mike. Beautiful image. I like it even more than the previous one. Love the warm tones and dof.:)

Lovely colors and BG here, Mike. TFS.

I like this one even more than the first, Mike. The shallow DOF here is perfect - still have enough in focus that we can really lock on to the image but enough softness that we get the whole "walk softly" feel to it. The soft colors and lighting play fabulously with the choice of aperture.

This is a sweet composition, I really like how the leaves all seem to converge, a lovely pattern of colors here.

[Don Lacy]

I like this one better then the first one Mike, all the elements that made the first one so nice the wonderful color and sweeping lines of the leaves are even more refined here.
