Holy Cow vinnie, This is BEAUTIFUL!, the colors are gorgeous, the contrast between light and darks is perfect. You are an amazing photographer.Vincent J. DeSanto July 17, 2012
As always thank you Sandi. Your comments are always appreciated. This Flower grows in only one tiny pool of water right on the side of the road in my state. They bloom right now, once a year for about two weeks then die. #10233966Sandi L. Olson July 17, 2012
Did you use a macro lens? and what was your aperature, this photo is so stunning. you know what I like about it the most is the color and how the contrast is so F'N perfect. If you don't win anobel peace prize with this then you can call me siily. HAHAVincent J. DeSanto July 17, 2012
Hey Sandi. I used my 18-200 zoom that came with my camera. I used a Circular Polarizer and under exposed around 1 1/2 stops because there was a real bright sun out. If I didn't then this image would have been very washed out. I will probably get an EP, that's about it. I will be shocked if I get anything higher than an EP. #10234041Lou Lazerson July 18, 2012
