Default ConFuschian
Another BucketShot wildflower. These are more of what I remember seeing as a child, considered to be "art from Nature," presumably because of the isolated look, lack of background, slightly richer colors.

ConFuschian

Blooms are 1/2 inch wide.

jiminy,

I like the look. The lack of background is a great way to photograph these. It's as though they are suspended in mid air. Great work!

I like this too. Not only does it make the background less (as in... non) distracting, it amplifies the subject colors.

I'm just not sure I get how you're doing this yet.

Yes, please explain the technique
The colours are so intense - nice shot

Ah... just read your explanation at 'How I took it' Bucket
Tx for the tip JiminyC - will have to try that.
