Title: Orange and Yellow
Post by: Arlen on July 13, 2015, 12:20:17 am: Clever (or not so) titles escape me at the moment, so apologies if the subject line is rather prosaic. Lately I've gone down a path of constructing limited-focus images of flowers and flora, letting minimal form be defined mostly by out of focus color gradients. Since there is not much in the way of rules here, it's not always clear when a good result has been achieved. So comments and opinions are welcome, whatever they may be.

But taking a few more seconds, it becomes almost hypnotic. A fine, meditative image that stirs the imagination.

Nice!

Are you composing with a tilt LCD or angled viewfinder?
