Gerber Daisies
I haven't taken photos since my trip to FL. I can't figure out why, but I just haven't been in the mood for photography lately. But yesterday, VF got me some gerber daisies, and I just couldn't resist taking the camera off the shelf. For this shot, I put the vase of flowers on top of a large sheet of white paper by the window to catch some bright late morning light.

Nice bright colors, and great perspective.

I don't understand. How can it be that they look so much like they are popping out at me? :)

Great perspective!
Has a 3-D feel!

I love how you used the shadow and solid white background; they really do feel like they're coming out of the screen.

Wow, it's beautiful despite being taken out of it's natural environments. The white background really works. :)

This is just stunning!

phnatastic sharpen - and i love the effect of the shadow on the white background.
Posted by: grapf at May 21, 2005 1:05 PM
that is really sweet. Looks like an advert - the pure white background and the isolation from the rest of the image is excellent.

Wonderful work. It really looks more like a studio shot. Great colour and texture, along with fabulous depth.

Good composition, lighting and colours. The way the vast is hidden behind the flowers is good to.

Tasty goodness - wonderful that we can't really see the vase...the flowers are springing up from nothingness!

Amazing photo. The colors, clarity and idea are all wonderfully well done.

i usually find flower shots pretty boring, but this is charming! it does look like a studio shot. big bit of white paper and the sun. good idea.
Posted by: laura at May 27, 2005 7:22 AM
Very neat, very clear, very well done. I really like it!
