Botanical Flower

by trixie

Taken today 16th April in Botanical gardens, weather a bit dull so set the camera to aperture priority, and just cropped a bit to the left out that was brown and dull.

Think they are part of the Rhododendron family but I could be wrong, do you know what they are? :

Nice DOF on this Trixie and good focus, I think this is worth viewing large to get the full benefit. I hope you don't mind me suggesting but I think a touch of levels adjustment would just lift the image a bit.

Jim is right, worth seeing large. Could be a kind of Rhododendron. I like this filling the frame.

Trixie. Did you take more than one shot of this flower?
A Club judge one told me that a beautiful flower will always give you a lovely picture. But sit and watch the light and how it changes the mood of the flower and how the changing shadows reveal its intimate detail. I am wondering if a lower angle would have captured those open flowers at the bottom of the shot, but, you have captured its beauty and have cropped the shot perfectly.
