    Default Everglades Lanceleaf Arrowhead

    This was taken down in the Everglades off of the Anhinga Trail back in November when there were barely any birds to speak of. Don't have much experience with flora but liked the way this was curved in the frame. Thanks to Paul Marcellini, who is a photographer/naturalist down in that area, for the help with the ID.

    Canon 40D, 70-200L F4 IS @ 185mm
    F5.6, 1/250, ISO 640, manual mode (wind blowing and no sun)
    handheld, full frame

    C & C always welcome and appreciated,

    Beautiful flower. Adding a grad filter from the bottom could help to bring more attention to the flower.

    Hi Marina.

    Elegant looking presentation here. My only concern is that the flower looks a bit lost in the frame particularly since it is so small to begin with and the stem is so long. I would seriously consider a crop taking away the bottom half of the stem. I think that would position the flower better in the frame and make it more the star of the show.

    Welcome, Marina! Although I love the initial composition on this I have to agree with Ed. Not only is the flower getting a bit lost but the bottom couple of "leaves" are mostly OOF. If you cropped from right below the pair that are folded together I think it would show off the best of the plant and still maintain that lovely curve.

    Well placed in frame Marina,
    I agree with Julie on the cropping to make this a much stronger composition...:cool:
