Floating Stamens

by davidstorm

I honestly can't remember what lens was used on this image, it may have been the Pentax-A 50mm F1.7 on Extension Tubes?

Anyway it was shot with the K-5.

For me it has a surreal feel to it...it looks like they've been thrown into the air and you've captured the split-second before they fall back! I like it (for what that's worth!)

Might be the best of any Flower image I have viewed on this site. It nearly takes my vocabulary away and replaces it with awe. The spectacular colors, perfect POV, final image work and the original thought behind this museum quality image is incredible. Other than that, Fantastical !

A very good image David. I would agree that ET's were used due to the DOF showing a very fast separation.

Best regards

Very eye catching colours. The stamens remind me of pieces of "Puffed Wheat". Well captured
