A Cast of Shadow
Categories: [Abstract]  [flower photo]  [photo of flowers]   A Cast of Shadow - 2007-12-17 20:23:15

I took this photo in Växjö somewhere in Sweden, summer 2007 with my favorite flower - Canon EOS 350D camera and a tamron macro lens. I really like the bokeh effect and the soft orange color on this flower. I think that this is one of my best flower photos. What do you think? Please post your comments if you like it or have any suggestions on improvements on this photo.

I have some more of my flowers available over at Lightgate Imagery. Please have a look at them and tell me if you like them.
