Do you think we'll be noticed? by

Saw these red flowers trying to hide in amongst the cacti in the Botanical Gardens . Not the most comfortable of hiding places.

Oh, and also my second attempt at the Orton effect.

Canon EOS 5D
Canon lens EF180mm macro 3.5 L Ultrasonic
Morning light
Focal length 180mm
F/3.5
Exposure 1/250 sec.
Metering mode: Pattern
Exposure compensation: -1 step.

Thanks for looking – view large.

Cheers Crispin.

    Very cool…I love how the red draws your eyes to the bottom of the photo…I had to keep lifting my eyes back up to the rest of the photo cause they kept wanting to look at the red flowers :)

  • Thanks Cayannagirl, that’s what attracted me to take the photo when I saw this.
