Renewal: It's Twins


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Renewal:  It's Twins
Renewal: It's Twins
Shot at Mercer Gardens on the north side of Houston, Texas this past Sunday. Summer-like weather has returned here and a few of the early bloomers are trying out the warm sun. These twins are Amaryllis 'Papillio'. Shot with the 100mm macro, ISO 400, RAW, minimal post processing--curves and USM.

  A very beautiful macro, Murry! It's very elegant with its clean lines, gentle curves and soft color tones. Right now I'd have dig down 5 ft to find the garden and you're shooting photos of blooms. Of course you have to rub it in about the summer-like weather and warm sun also :-)

  Thanks Sharon, Stacey, Carolyn and Gary! We are in our hot flash season where in between the cold snaps we have a week of the nice stuff. The flowers do get confused. I did cover up my Ixora Maui Red during our last freeze since it was so nice to me --Tah Dah :0)

  That creamy soft DOF makes a lovely background for this dynamic duo, Murry. Watch out for the round of storms that just pounded us on the coast, though, I'm afraid they're headed your way!
