Dreaming of Orange

[Harold Davis]

at first i thought this was a pansy, but i know pansies will not survive the 100 degree heat we have had down here for the last few weeks. this was taken saturday morning in Redlands, FL. processed w/ ACR then into CS3 and added some dreamy feeling with AutoFX plugin then added a vignette blur.

D300, Sigma 150, f/4, 1/800s, 0EV, ISO 400, flash fill on MP 1/4 power w/ diffuser

comments and critiques welcome and appreciated.

I love the repetition and dreamy feel of this. The light parts of the BG on upper left and third flower are distracting and very easy to keep in check.
I didn't know the artist in you :)

Hi Doctor,
I like your composition, image and capture. I like the balance and symmetry between your primary and secondary subject...the color rendition is very good, I like the selective focal point and the play on the depth of field...well done Sir...proud of you...keep up the good work...:cool:
