Rebonjour Philippe,
Une fleur de grande beauté rayonnante comme un soleil rouge..et qu'on trouve en forêt, c'est vraiment un cadeau de la nature. J'aime bien aussi la végétation environnante, la petite fougère à l'arrière qui avait envie de se montrer aussi..
Très charmant!
Un grand merci
Anne
Hi Philippe,
This picture helps me to learn about adjustments when shooting brightly colored flowers like this. As you have a bridge, I find the note very useful.
Happens me that when I take macros of flowers colored like this, the textures are not well recorded and the color looks too saturated. I think you have avoided some of these problems by combining a good opening, shutter speed and ISO. Good work, excellent result. Greetings / Thanks for sharing Jesus
Hallo Philippe
This is pretty in red and no lie about it. The vibrant colour of the flower is joyful and the natural sunlight adds to enhance this fact. The contrast between the red and green is great and works wonders on the screen. A beautiful sight that reminds me of the 1st day of Spring and I am sure it will cheer any person up that is feeling a bit blue. I personally think walking in a forest can bring forth many photographic oppertunities, not only plantlife but insectlife as well. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards.
Anna
ps. Sorry I lost out on the last smiley when I went back to edit my critique. I will make up to it with a next image.
Bonjour Philippe,
Très bonne opposition de couleurs valorisant bien le sujet sous une agréable lumière.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

re-re Bonjour Philippe
cette fleur est extraordinairement belle et capturée efficacement
la couleur vive de cette "étoile" rouge ressort si bien dans le décor de feuilles verte et de BG noir, la netteté est comme toujpurs impeccable
à bientôt
Jacqueline
