Motif: Flower

[Alfred Forns]

While walking around St Augustine during the day found this flower in the shade and ready for photographing. Decided to use a wide angle and move it as close as possible to the plant, actually did no use the viewfinder. With wide angle lenses you can get away with some slow shutter speeds and make sharp images.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Well done Maestro...:)
I like the blue framing of the blue window panes in the background; adding a splash of color to the composition, you have sharp detailed and the colors are pleasing...good show Sir...:cool:

I am amazed at the detail that you have here with the slow shutter speed and it is probably HH too.

Alfred, The window panes combined w/ the blue add alot of interest to this. Very well exposed -spot on coloring .

[Oscar Zangroniz]

What I like the most is the composition of this image. IMO the background of the bluish window against the flower is beautiful.
