Re: Backlit flower

I love the background 'bokeh'

Is that glow in the middle lens flare or the light from behind shining on the petals?

This would look great in the dof blur thread!

Re: Backlit flower

Hi Ian
Its not lens flare this was taken quite near sunset and the sun was shining through from behind all the flowers and was lighting up this particular one, when I got home and saw how the background had come out I felt I had to share it.

Re: Backlit flower

I have to agree with Ian that is a super photo Mo. I know this may seem like I am just say that this because he is my brother but trust me I had not seen that photo before I came here. I really do like the background colours.

Well done Mo

Re: Backlit flower

Nice shot - the colours are really deep and the blurred background has some lovely shapes to it
