Purple Rain

Purple Rain

I took this photo in my backyard after the rain today. I think it worked well as the flower seems to jump out from the contrasting blurry green background. Hope you all like it.

    I don’t really care for flowers but this is darn good photography.
    (once again!)

    Terrific depth too. I learned this from the pros: offcenter! They said never (ever)
    center something perfectly in the middle of the shot, because it confuses the brain,
    and the eye doesn’t know which side to go to. No matter, this is flipping awesome…heh.
    Great job.

  • DavidAmosPhotography

    DavidAmosPhoto...

    Beautiful shot Jeremy. The beads of water and dark background really work well for this shot.
    By the way, I read a comment about being off centre… actually the focal point on this shot is the middle of the flower, the petals are acting as a leading line, so when you look at it closely, the photo IS actually off centre.

  • Jeremy Harrington replied

    Thanks a lot David, and I like your point of view as to the centering..

  • Rachel Gellert

    This is so much more interesting than your standard close up flower shot. It is not a perfect flower, and it is this imperfection, with the rain drops and droopy petals, that make it a lovely shot. The shallow depth of field is very appropriate, as is the colour combination of foreground and background.
