Theme: Chrysanthemum

In-Camera Multiple Exposure
Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 24-105mm f4L
ISO 50, 105mm, f11, 1/6 sec

I shot this last year when I was trying out the 5D Mark III's internal multiple exposure effects. It was a chrysanthemum flower plant in a pot, I was attempting to make the center of the multi exposure look as much like a real flower as possible. I processed in Lightroom and made no efforts to isolate the flower of interest from the others or leafy background underneath. As always, comments are welcomed.

Great job with the in-camera multiple exposure. You achieved your goal with the center. That is where I go wrong when I try this. I love the effect you got, which are especially lovely with the darker edges of the petals. Re. the background, I wish the entire background were either like the left side or the right side. Both sides look great, but not in the same image.

Hi, Barry, I like this a lot. The dark background reminds me of a Rembrandt and I like the difference of the two sides. I hope we see more of your multiples

Very nice, with rich colors and tonalities and a beautiful effect on the main flower! But I'm a little torn between the darkness on the right and the light, even tones on the left -- feels a little unbalanced somehow.

I love the colors and the effect but would love to see this a bit wider....
