Hibiscus

Hibiscus, originally uploaded by M. Rosenberg.

Flower week continues here on NegativeMode. In a departure from my normal modus operandi, this shot is straight out of the camera with only minor adjustments to contrast and brightness. Color is as shot. In hindsight, I wish I wasn't using such a shallow depth of field and the petals were in better focus. Also, I forget what kind of hibiscus this was exactly.

I still have a few more shots from Longwood Gardens. You'll get my favorite one tomorrow, although this is a close second. Hope this lovely flower brightens up your dreary day (it's rainy and cool in Philly today).
