at first i wasn't sure whether to put this under bloopers - but i really like it...

anyone else occasionally have as strange taste as me?

I agree. I think it needed a little sharper focus on the stalks but the idea is terrific!

thats an awesome perspective...
it looks like you have huge flowers...
Now, if they were just a little more in focus it would be perfect!

Great photo! Never seen any flower picture from that angle before!

cheers guys,

a deeper DOF was what i thought it needed at first but i'm comming to like the abstract look and the cheeky wee flower in focus in the top corner.

Timestamp: Wed Apr 25 20:41:23 2007
Shutter: 1/50 s
Aperture: F2.8
ISO speed: 200
Focal length: 28.0 mm
Flash: D50 built-in with -3(+-)

It was taken late in the day so i had to use 2.8 to stop the flowers shaking too much in the breeze.

Ok, so it's not what i was trying for when i took it - and i could have adjusted the iso... but we're all human. and it may well be a look i try for in the future!
