    The Petal

    After getting my wife 38 roses for our anniversary yesterday, I stole a petal form one of them:


    EOS-M w/EF-M 22mm@ 1/100sec @ f/3.5, ISO 100 off camera flash set to 1/64th power

    Less is more and it works quite nicely although with the leaves effectively pointing to the left, I think the compossition might be better with the greater amount of dead space to the left as well

      Thanks Stan. I had taken several images of the petal with it located in different parts of the frame and thus on seemed to me to be the most eye pleasing of them as i was experimenting with the golden ratio for composition.

        The positioning in the frame is fine, just the leaves seem to be pointing the wrong way - another suggestion would be to keep the image where it is and just flip is so its pointing into the dead space

          Great concept Tom I tend to agree with Stan that it would look even better if the leaves were pointing into the blank space

                    Hi Stan, thanks for coming back and leaving a remark. I like your correction, however for me, the emphases based on the way the light is falling is on the leaves, making them more of the subject then the petal, IMO.
