A different Lantern

Jeff · 16th October 2004

Has been quite a while since I shoot flora. Saw this interesting flower and buds in the cool house and decided to take a shot. Was pleasantly surprised when I found the white petals turn out semi-transparent. The whole stalk looks like a lantern to me.

Hope u like it.

Refreshing image, Jeff.
The dark bluish spot on the upper right of the frame spoil the color blending, i think. And I would prefer the stem coming from the bottom right coner of the frame. Just my personal preference..

My perspective was pretty limited in the coolhouse. I remember there was something to the upper RHS corner that I wish to avoid cause it's too distracting. I suppose that thing gives the blue tinge. Perhaps using a 1.4x will exclude the bluish patch.

Yap did think of the stem coming from the bottom right. Maybe I'll crop off the excess bottom and clone out the bluish patch.

Thanks for the feedback.
