A Longwood Gardens pitcher plant (Sarracenia sp.) captured by the little Canon camera. Linda made this possible by holding a black panel behind the plant, to block an otherwise distracting background.
Hi Norm
Nice one. Difficult to
grow over here. Good photo subjects though. I might have removed the second leaf and gone in a bit closer on the main one.
Cheers
John
Interesting plant with character, nice diagonal composition, the black background highlights the plant nicely. I think John has good suggestions that might make it even stronger.
Hi Norm,
Very nice image. I like how the light strikes the plant and really makes it stand out against the black background. The comp works for me as is with the diagonals. Well done.
Hi Norm. I like the back and rim lighting that works well against the black background and I prefer the repost with its slightly toned down highlights. Comp is subjective, but this works for me, as presented. Very nicely done!
Yes the repost looks very good indeed, I do struggle a bit though with the black background, (to me it looks as though it may have been taken at midnight but as I mentioned in a previous post that's just my opinion and most other people seem to like the black).
