I like the way the sun just catches the tips of the stamen - the whole photo has a wonderful warmth to it.

Great camera angle and strong colours, the petals make an intresting background

A spectacular florwer macro.
Love flowers photographed like this, this is one of the better ones I think!

LOVE the angle, close crop, etc, etc!!
This also makes a great abstract.
Very nice Joggie,
Lori :)

Beautiful color and absolutely gorgeous!


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 7/18/2005
Joggie,

Wonderful lighting and beautiful details. Surely the flower was in shade, with only reflected light reaching it, no?

If not, please share your secret of how you controlled the contrast so well!


Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 7/18/2005
Thanks for commenting Angelo - The flower was in full sunlight - this species dont like the shade. It came at an angle though - top right. I underexposed by 1.3 fstops to retain detail in the lighter areas (stamens and flower centre) the richly coloured petals came out darker then creating that reflected look. This image is almost as it was in camera with minimal cropping and adjustments.

Hallo Joggie..Een prachtige combinatie van geel en oranje het geeft mij het gevoel dat het zomer is..Ik wou je andermaal bedanken dat je op mijn foto heb gereageerd het volgende is dat ik niet meer zo vaak op use bent is om dat ik mijn Nikon coolpix 8800 enige dagen geleden op de grond heb laten vallen met eventuele schade. Het kan enige maanden duren dat ik mijn foto toestel weer van de Nikon dealer terug ktijgt ik hoop dan dat ik zo gauw mogelijk weer op use terug komt..FF wat anders JOGGIE..Wat vind jij er van dat er mensen op use zijn die mijn foto,s stelen en dat op hun eigen foto site zet en zoja wat kan ik hier aan doen? Ik heb de bewuste persoon een mailtje daar over gestuurd heb helaas nog niets daar over gehoord!! Om dit te lezen zou je mij comments terug moeten lezen!

Groetjes vanuit Holland,

Riny

Hallo Riny. I thought something must have happened. Hope you get the Coolpix back soon. Regarding the unlawfull use of your image - I copied the answer to the question about copyright for you: The copyrights of each photograph remain with the photographer. You may not remove or use images on this site without the expressed written consent of the photographer. Photographers however are required to grant Usefilm.com the right to reproduce the work to display and promote Usefilm.com in any manner necessary. (This grants Usefilm.com the right to display your work on this website.).
The above is clear Riny - I would suggest that you contact the Webmaster of Usefilm about this matter and take it from there, especially if the guilty person dont react on your request. I dont think we should allow this type of misuse on the site (although I suspect that it can happen al the time). Kind regards and thanks for the reaction and comment.
Joggie

(I went back to you "Yellow Passion" - it seems as if the guy wants to clarify the situation - If he does nothing about your request, I really think you should take this further with the webmaster.)


Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 7/18/2005
Me again Riny - you can contact the usefilm administrator at the following address:

Beautiful, Joggie. I love the lines and colours. Almost an abstract. Unusual angle but works perfectly. Cheers, Ann.


Melisa Meyers   {K:9610} 7/18/2005
Incredible lighting and baby fine details! Great choice for Dof


Riny  Koopman   {K:19998} 7/18/2005
Goeden avond Joggie..Bedank dat je heb willen reageren op mijn reactie! Ik zal een mailtje sturen naar Suggest@usefilm.com of dit wat uit haalt is de vraag. Ik heb liever dat use de betreffende persoon van de site af haalt hij heeft niet alleen de foto van mij gestolen ook van andere donor leden ik zal het maar niet bij naam noemen.Deze kwestie heeft mij zeer aan gegrepen en persoonlijk kan ik geen suggestie plaatsen op de forum ste omdat ik geen donor bent!!

Groetjes uit warm (38) Holland

Een prachtige gouden gloed, geweldige details....mooi van kleur..de kern spreek me erg aan...

groeten van het zonninge zuiden "limburg" naar Zuid Afrika. Ik heb Riny ook al gewaarschuwd dat hij abuse moet waarschuwen. Ik hou absoluut van zulke mensen. Ik vind zijn reactie in een comment naar Riny toe "achteraf gepraat" als ik heel eerlijk ben. Het werd zeker te riskant.

Stunning shot, Joffie. Very abstract, and you have provided patterns, texture, colour, and form in abundance. Very impressed.

Fantastic focus and detail, Joggie ~ not to mention the blinding colours!!
Great work all round.
Best regards, Chris
