Cyclamen 29

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, Pennsylvania, United States) on 11 January 2011 in Plant & Nature.

I used pink scrapbooking paper as the background. Taken indoors with natural light. Very little post processing. I kept the stem long so the flower center would not be smack in the center of the image.

Nikon D300 5/2 seconds F/40.0 ISO 125 105 mm

The paper is the perfect hue to accentuate the color of the petals.

Anita, I always love your cyclamens, but I think this is one of my favorites! I love the soft pink background, I love the longer stem, and the single petal hanging down (and your placement of it) is just perfection!! Beautiful shot!
