Playing with Colors and Shapes


I was out walking around JD’s garden the other day checking-out possible photographic opportunities when I spotted this “whatever.”  It was late in the day and the golden light did some pretty amazing thing to the colors of the various plants.
I wanted to use a shallow depth of field in order to convert the background into merely colors and shapes.
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D3, Nikon 105mm f/2.8 shot at ISO 200, f/4 and 1/90th of a second.
Post Processing:  
Lightroom—Set black and white points, added clarity and mid-tone contrast and added saturation to various colors.

  1. Not sure what to make of this photo. I like the colors and out of focus of the background and I like the sharpness of the subject, however, I am not sure the two play well together. Need to think about it.
