Really like the angle you took and how line arrange together. The green is perfect. Have you tried a crop to keep only leaves and lines? I find the side a bit distractive.
This is great. I try to shoot this plant a lot and always end up from above and never really love the image. Great idea to shoot it from this angle! To my eye, zooming in to better see the fantastic texture might make this even more compelling. I’m thinking you might even lose the bottom 25% . Love the image just as it is too.
This is definitely my favorite plant to photograph. Its graceful lines and curves are lovely in your shot. Also nice contrast to differentiate the separate leaves. Since the subject is just that, lines and curves, zeroing in on that might serve your comp better. If you wanted the whole plant, then perhaps allowing the front right and back left leaf tips to be included? I know that would include more of the distracting background, but maybe that could be dealt with in post more aggresively.
The fun part of photographing this plant…ENDLESS opportunities!
Delton: This is a pretty severe crop but I do think you want to try to fill the frame with these marvelous curves and lines. Great subject nicely captured. >=))>
Bill: Nice job with the crop. After I saw this, I went back up into to the mountains-10 miles hike-=to try again. Ah: too late. Next year. So I go an image of the hellabore leaves in decline. attached
Thanks, Connie: I’ve been stalking these false hellabores for a couple years in the mountains here. I went back up yesterday to try again, but…too late! The’d gone to seed. So, next year.
