Backlit flower

[ccroy]

Always wanted to shoot flowers opposite light. Used the 28-105 AF for the purpose since it has 1:2 macro. It has good bokeh too. One of the shots is here

Neat shot CC! I like the perspective, detail, and color... 28-105.... Hmmm.....

Thanks Rich for looking. And the bokeh? This lens is simply amazing.

Very nice pleasing shot. I think I would be tempted to get rid of the bud in the lower left corner. The colors and comp are spot on.

Thanks Willg. I was also tempted to remove it but I thought it added perspective to the picture and hence retained it.

Where in NJ? My sons live there in Princeton area. I like NJ very much and hope to visit again soon

CC; Hi. I'm in the Woodbridge area. I'm north of Princeton, roughly 40-45 minutes depending on traffic.

Cool shot. I love backlit flowers, not a view we normally see or photograph. Hope you're enjoying your visit.

Beautiful, not only the flower, but the soft mixture of greens and pinks in the background. Nicely done.
