Butterfly Pea Flower by Gaetan Manuel

July 2025 - Butterfly Pea Flower

About the Image(s)

The shot was taken with a nikon D750 camera fitted with a Tamron 90mm lens. The ISO was set at 1600, shutter speed 1/100s and aperture f/20.

The flower was placed on a white transparent perspex sheet. Two sources of white light were used, one below and the other one above the perspex sheet.

Hi Gaetan: Nice to have you rejoin us.
The flower as presented on the white background is okay. I am curious as to what the vine, or shrub or small tree that supports the Pea Flower looks like. Would like to see more of a nature story associated with this interesting flower.   Posted: 07/05/2025 20:33:09

Love the origina colors, Gatan. Sharp contracts between the gree and blue is really something. The edited version is intriguing since it looks like a museum slide of a preserved flower.   Posted: 07/13/2025 22:37:22

We can imagine a lot of possibilities with this picture.
Well realized with some (wide) imagination.
It is not horizontal, and it is better, to be more natural.   Posted: 07/21/2025 18:53:24
