Purple Haze

[Richard Waas]

I shot this with my Canon 40D, AV, on tripod with Macro Twin Light (-2 ev), ISO 200, F/8.0, 5 secs, EF 100mm Macro lens, Pattern metering, Auto WB, Auto Exposure. I've looked at this photo so many times, I'm wondering if the purple is too strong? Comments welcome.......

it certainly has a 3D feel to it!

hi richard, i dont think the purples are too strong here. i dont think that you are trying to convey a lot of details as it's almost an abstract!! reminds me of tie-dye! i might would boost the whites in the middle of the flower just a tad. very cool image. bouganvilla?

I don't think so It is just right for me !!! Would like seeing another wide open? Not sure what selective focus might do the feel !! Impressive image !!!!

Hi Richard,

I like this image very much. It has a real abstract feel to it; the feel of a painting. I like the purple as presented.
