PHal in Bloom...

[kazjak]

My Phal Taipei-Gold has fluffed out her feathers and is in full bloom.... Look how wonderful! I used my confederate blue dining room walls as a background. It seemed like a nice contrast.

Very nice Kazjak. Love the background!

[gerneveyn]

How pretty! Is it fragrant?

[kazjak]

Thanks guys. I wish it was fragrant but no such luck!

I love the composition, very creative, original and well thought out.

This is what I have been trying to get others to do, rather than just photograph their plants with cluttered, distracting backgrounds.

I HATE DISTRACTING BACKGROUNDS !!!!!!!!

[Lucinda Brown]

Calm down Anton,we love you anyway!

[Anton]

I just get tired of trying to admire beautiful plants when there are trucks, cars, buses, trees, bushes, dinner plates, lounge chairs etc, etc in the background taking my attention away from what should be admired in an uncluttered, distraction fee environemnt.

one of these days ............. I live in hope......... (sigh)

I have given plenty of tips in the Photo 101 lessons.

As we say in the Graphic Design industry follow the KISS Principle.

Keep It Simple Stupid.

Anton...are you a graphic designer?

[Anton]

My wife and I had a Desk Top Publishing business for about 8 years.

Thanks Anton.. It's amazing what a tripod will do!

[Sharyn]

Lovely orchid and a very nice presentation. The Taipei Golds are one of my favorites.

[Summerglow]

Nice plant you got there... Keep up the good work!

[Anton]

Kazjak my point exactly ! THANK YOU !

I rest my case!

[prisana]

I'm guilty as charged. But like you said, " keep it simple"...I just snap away ,lounge chairs and all..

Nice flowers, kazjak..very creative.
