Parallax
Shades of Pink
Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 28 January 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I saw this beautiful flower once in Hiroo, I loved the pattern and color it had, this is another try with mixing desaturated background and color to emphasize the attention on the subject.

I simply love it!!! It's really beautiful. Em Portugês para te ires habituando: Espectacular como está o enquadramento da foto, e é nestas fotos que vejo porque me tornei bióloga....a natureza sabe mesmo o que faz. Cada pétala foi delicadamente delineada para o lugar certo. You capture the nature just like it is. Perfect. Un beso mi amigo

A stunning capture. Superb clarity and use of colour. Very well done!
Re your question: I'm sorry to say I don't know about the details of the building in yesterday's post. I can tell you where it is though, and you might be able to find out. It's on the corner of Karasuma Street and Oike Street, here in Kyoto.

Perfection! Exquisite editing and focus. Pink and grey are the colors of high sophistication, in my humble opinion.

Mi crítica no puede ser técnica, pero lo que sí te puedo opinar es que una ves mas insistes transmites ese sentimiento particular y positivo como yo lo llamo, eso me gusta de esta foto.... Es mágica!

louis D. from Lyon, France
very graphic picture, beautifull flower !
(i would have photoshoped the point of light just up the flower which catch a little too much the eyes for me).

@louis D.: Thank you very much Louis, I didn't think about that, haha, now that you brought that small detail, it is kinda distracting, =)
@Soph: Thank you very much Soph!

the symmetry and color are fantastic, and I liked how you did desaturate the background to really emphasize the flower.
