Default .......Violets are Blue

......... Violets are Blue

This was my entry in the weekly assignment for "Ghetto lighting + Reflector". I used diffused sunlight at the rear of the camera and an aluminum foil reflector with a pen light on the left which made the colors of the flowers more vivid and made the leaves dance in the light. Just wanted to share something other than a landscape photo.

I like how these tunred out. I'm going to have to try some other things too. Seems like I've been in a landscape rut. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice complimenting colors and the contrast at the center of violet flowers.
