Re: PESO: Bird of Paradise

[ann sanfedele]

I agree with Larry that a longer lens would be useful here so the 
pebbles and rim on the planter are blurred out if you cant get an angle 
where the
-bird- is against a background of only leaves.. I definitely would not 
want a"plain black background" - I like the pattern the blossom against 
the leaves make..
so the whole frame is considered..  a blossom against a solid 
background  seldom works for me aesthetically..


The good thing is, that plant is one you see every day Dan, you can go 
back to it and work it.. a cloudy day would be useful..


It's pretty as it is, though.

Lovely flower, I wish that it were better separated from the background.

If I were shooting it, and couldn’t arrange to have a simple black background 
behind it, I would try and do some sort of Rembrandt lighting on it, either 
with a speed light when there was less background light, or even just some sort 
of hot light at night from the side so that the leaves behind the flower were 
not illuminated.  Possibly doing something fancy to shade the leaves and use a 
mirror or reflector to put more sunlight on the flower.

Another thing that might help is to use a longer lens and move back so that 
there is a lot less background visible, so that more of the background were 
something darker that contrasts more with the flower (like the leaves in shadow 
rather than sunlight concrete)

A beautiful flower! Following up on Larry's comment, what might help a lot
is a radial filter in lightroom to darken the background and lighten the
flower. Or use the post-crop vignetting slider.

Re: PESO: Bird of Paradise

Very nice capture, Dan. Good to see a bit of SA! That particular flower, 
known to gardeners world wide as the "Bird of Paradise", is the South 
African indigenous species Strelitzia Reginae.

I have taken quite a few images of bird of paradise flowers (which are
grown all over here in Maui), but none were that effective.

Not what I expected (I know little of either flowers or birds) but
quite lovely none the less!

Beautiful colours and composition.

Very  nice, like the leaf framing. I've always loved Birds of Paradise, such
