One of my night blooming epiphyllums (epiphyllum strictum) These bloom from about 11pm to just after sunrise, are 8 inches or so in diameter and have a very faint soapy/citrus scent.
Off camera flash, topaz adjust, topaz clean
This will be my last post for a while. I'm headed to Yellowstone for two weeks of bliss :S3:
Beautiful night bloomer, Maureen. Nice exposure, great pattern, like the glow to it. Wish the center structures were a bit more defined, but nicely done. You are so lucky to be going to Yellowstone! Hope you have a great time and share some great images when you get back. Enjoy! :S3:
Hey Maureen,
I like how this floats in the frame! This is a beautiful flower and I just wonder if you can eek out some more depth in the center? Have a great time in Yellowsone!
Thanks Brendan and Roman. Here is a repost with a touch of usm and without topaz clean, which I think is at least part of the problem (the other part likely being, as my dear Dad used to say "a loose nut on the handle".) :S3:
Works for me! Looking forward to some landscape posts by you after you get back from yellowstone!
Thanks, Roman. :S3:
Are the shadows from sun or flash? Or, same quesiton: was this created in the dark. Have a great trip.
Nice work, Maureen. I like the white against the black BG, and the yellow accent adds a nice touch. I notice a little grainess in the petals which I might try to remove. Have a great trip! :S3:
Wonderful composition, Maureen. I like it a lot.
Thanks for the comments.
Artie - This was created in the dark. Shadows are from the flash.
Thanks for the good trip wishes :S3:
Looks good, Maureen!
YAW and thanks for the info. Watch out for those bison!
