Kenyan Flower Series #2

This is a nice little tightly cropped image of… sadly i forget the name… but rather common flower in Kenya…

Again there is allot of depth of field in this and it works rather nicely i feel… it accentuates that nice red core of the flower…

Again just fairly simple levels tweaks here..

Would a more clearer shot with less depth of field have been better?

  1. I think it’s beautiful! just the perfect amount of DOF, if you were disatisfied you could always use lens blur on the background, but i love it!

  2. The DOF on the white/pink petals is great. Showing the texture of the petals very well. The middle stem is always difficult on this type of flower ( it looks very similar to a Hawaii-roser Hibiscus rosa-sinensis). We have tried several times, but if you got that one sharp you miss some of the dof….
    In your image the blurry stem is a bit artistic and works well!
