Every time I try for a short field of focus either some of the object is not sharp or the background is not soft enough and also usually has something of a distracting line.
The black cloth does away with that.
The flowers are all on the one plant and I was taken with the variation in colour.
Pushing my Photoshop skills to the limit I stuck them together but I feel that the end result is somehow clumsy. I had been thinking of them as a triptych and might have another go with a white border separating them. I think the flowers are also probably overdone as they overglow but that may just be the contrast with the black. I've got a couple of thoughts half formed in my head and I was wondering if others comments might help crystalise.
The lighting on the day was bright but overcast. Does the E-3 pick up ultraviolet?
As a technique it may well work with something small like a bog orchid.
I've seen something similar somewhere before but can't remember where.
All a bit rambling.
I like these Duncan, and I like the idea of the triptych, and a couple of things to add as ideas would be
1: if you make a reflection on the bottom of each one. or
2: with a beveled border to make the effect of each one look like they were a standout from the background.
Just a couple of ideas, for someone with good photoshop skills (not me ) they could turn this into a very nice standout to hang on a wall.
