Challenge:Flowers (Advanced Editing IV) Camera:Nikon Coolpix P1 Location: Vancouver Island Date: Jul 2, 2006 Aperture: auto ISO: auto Shutter: auto Date Uploaded: Jul 2, 2006
My objective is to show flowers in a dramatic way, vivid colours, interesting compostitions and if I'm lucky showing human qualities. I took this photo with the foxglove in a vase in the hallway with the bathroom door as a background. It just was a fluke that there was a light reflection from the painted door. I used a tripod(why do I ever try to work without one?)on the Macro setting of my camera. Just a regular hallway light.

Digitalis is an outstandingly lovely flower. This is a great soeciment too. But the background really detracts from the botanical beauty on display. A simpler composition would have received my highest vote.
I think this is a little over processed or your camera doesn't handle all the whiggy colors well - mine does something similar with hot pink which is why I rarely photograph it in color. DOF is good. Background a little strange.
