A walk on the bright side

[JBW]

This was shot on auto focus. It was a calm day but with a smattering of clouds. Every time I focused the camera picked a different set of focus points. Seemes like a good time to try auto focus stacking. This is 10 shots stacked in Fiji.

ISO 100 ~ Shutter Speed 0.1s ~ Natural Light ~ 10 Shot Stack In Fiji ~ Sony Alpha a58 ~ Tamron 90mm 272E

Nicely done.

A good result Brian. Prefer this to your dark side. Maybe crop a little from the LHS?

[JBW]

Nicely done.

thanks, I need to remind myself that the bright side is a good side

I actually cut off a fair bit from the left. I could go a bit more squarish

The lights on the flower head on the left, is beautiful. It sclupts itself wonderfully well around the about-to-explode flower heads.

Very cool Brian...maybe try pick one of the best flowers and try get in close..little to much happening..love that red/orange colour in middle...and the white contrasts well..maybe try get that across to viewer. Your image doesnt have to look like flowers..we know its a flower..try focus on the light and lines and shapes on it.

Personally..i like the lines of the one round the middle...(its actually turned away from us, sort of mid top..little to right side) but something about it really attracts me...i think the light is the best on that one (See how the veins really come out?), try make just that flower be the only thing in ya image..think would look epic.

The one thats in middle and little to left also very cool...its seems like largest one thats open.

I've never had any luck going for single blossoms with this flower but If the weather cooperates I'll try again tomorrow
